Since the implementation of the visa-free policy between China and Russia, tourism exchanges between the two countries have shown a two-way trend of heating up. RIA Novosti reported on the 15th that Russian tourists' desire to travel to China has increased significantly, and demand for tickets to Chinese hotels and attractions has increased dramatically. At the same time, the enthusiasm of Chinese tourists visiting Russia continues to rise, and the number of visitors to popular destinations such as Moscow is steadily increasing. Chairman of the Russian Association of Tour Operators Bragin told RIA Novosti that in the three months from September to November this year, the number of Chinese hotel reservations for Russian tourists increased 70% year-on-year. This increase is about double what was estimated at the beginning of this fall. Looking at Russia's “Kojima” online hotel reservation service platform, Chinese hotels account for 4% of the total number of overseas hotel reservations, doubling from the same period last year and this summer. China has successfully ranked among the platform's “Top Ten Most Popular Overseas Resort Countries” list in the past 3 months. Bragin said that judging from the itinerary, Russian tourists spend an average of 4 to 6 days in China, and the average daily cost of staying at a hotel is about 10,000 rubles. He stressed that the increase in the number of direct flights between Russia and China has provided key support for tourist travel and directly promoted the increase in the number of tourists visiting China.
