“We, of course, will have to first of all know the decision of the operational headquarters, because for the restoration of regular flights it is very important to assess the epidemiological situation, reciprocity for the restoration of direct flights.
Now they are there, but in the status of passenger-and-freight flights.
A very important aspect lies in the plane of the renewal of the issuance of visas.
Italy has already, since May, began to renew visas that they did not manage to use during the pandemic.
So far this applies only to multiple entry visas.
Of course, we will very much wait from the consulate, the visa center, and the embassy to restore this work for tourist visas, ”Gorin said.
He noted that Italy is "a popular tourist destination."
“This is a year-round destination.
Italy is a unique country where you can ski and swim in the sea.
Cultural, educational, gastronomic and yacht tourism are well developed.
Probably, there is no such kind of tourism that could not be carried out in Italy.
Due to its hospitality and openness in Italy, here it is necessary to pay a compliment to the embassy and consulate, there have never been problems with travel companies and direct applicants, ”added the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier, Italian Ambassador to Russia Pasquale Terracciano said that Italy is considering the possibility of Russian tourists visiting the republic in September this year.
