From June 10 some Russian pensioners over 55 years old will have a new benefit. It is about elderly citizens who have decided to go to Moscow.
Tourist firms that organize travel to the capital will receive subsidies. In the basic version of the amount of compensation will amount to one thousand rubles for a tourist aged 55 years. This is about the trips made from June to the end of August.
If a tourist spends more time travelling, visited many cultural events and stayed in a higher class hotel, the amount of compensation will also be increased, reports PRIMPRESS.
For the elderly this benefit will be provided in the form of discounts, which will be made to them by tour operators on a trip to Moscow.
