Thus, tours for ten specially protected natural areas have been thought out, Alexander Kozlov, head of the Ministry of Natural Resources, said at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
“The routes have been developed, these are ten national parks and reserves, which are difficult to reach by land,” said Kozlov, quoted by RIA Novosti.
To work on the routes, two research vessels will be converted into a passenger class.
Work on the vessel Professor Khromov should be completed by the summer season, and work on the second vessel, Akademik Shakolsky, is scheduled to be completed next year.
According to the Ministry of Economic Development, the tourist flow in Russia approached the pre-Covid indicators and grew by 8% over the year.
