The demand for vaccine tours abroad in 2022 increased 12 times — at least 20,000 citizens of the Russian Federation travel for a foreign drug per month. In 2021, the same number of Russians with the same goals left for the entire year, Izvestia was told in the Russian Union of Tourism Industry (PCT).
“Our statistics show that last year 7.7 million people left the Russian Federation for the purpose of tourism. Of these, for the purpose of vaccine tourism – no more than 20 thousand. Now at least 10 thousand people leave Russia for vaccine tours every month. So many people drive on their own. These are people who need a European certificate for the purpose of personal travel, work, study, but also for tourism,” explained the Vice President of the PCT.
