“The situation that has developed within the UNWTO causes great regret.
But at the same time, in spite of everything, Russia remains in the international tourism arena.
We are open to dialogue with all countries and will continue to cooperate with our foreign colleagues,” Doguzova says on her Telegram channel.
Earlier, the World Tourism Organization confirmed reports that Russia had announced its intention to withdraw from it.
The Kremlin said the move would not affect Russia's tourism industry.
