“This is a positive initiative. The introduction of cashback for the purchase of tours in Russia will stimulate the development of domestic tourism. This will allow Crimea to expand the scope of the tourist season by increasing the load of accommodation facilities in the autumn-winter months, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

On the eve of the Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree according to which cashback will be credited for the purchase of tours in Russia for at least five nights and their payment with a Mir card.

All regions of the country will take part in the refund program for tours across Russia. In Crimea, the program will be available starting in October.
