In an effort to bolster cooperation and promote tourism among BRICS nations, Russia is set to host the BRICS Tourism Forum in Moscow this June. This follows recent news that tourism is expected to soar among BRICS countries this year.
With its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and historical landmarks, Russia aims to showcase its potential as a tourist destination during the forum. Moscow, as the host city, provides an ideal backdrop for discussions on leveraging tourism as a tool for sustainable development and cultural exchange among BRICS nations.
The forum is expected to facilitate dialogue on various topics, including visa facilitation, infrastructure development, marketing strategies, and the use of digital technologies to enhance the tourist experience. By sharing best practices and exploring joint initiatives, BRICS countries can tap into the immense tourism potential within the bloc and strengthen people-to-people ties.
Moreover, the forum presents an opportunity for Russia to deepen its engagement with BRICS partners and strengthen diplomatic relations through cultural exchange and collaboration in the tourism sector. As the world gradually recovers from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, initiatives like the BRICS Tourism Forum play a crucial role in revitalising the tourism industry and driving economic recovery.
