It is assumed that the direct flights will help the Thai authorities to restore the flow of tourists.
The other day there was a working meeting of the leaders of the tourism sector. The representative of tourist operator Tez Tour in Southeast Asia Andrei Snetkov and the deputy head of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Siripakon Chiausamut discussed the possible restoration of air travel from Thailand to Russia.
They want to launch the flights by early winter. Thus, the Thai authorities hope to restore the level of tourist flow to the level that was in 2019.
It should be noted that the company Aeroflot flights from Moscow to Phuket appeared in the schedule, but to buy such tickets are not yet available.
In addition to discussing the issue of direct flights between Russia and Thailand, the meeting discussed the possibility of using the Mir card when traveling.
"Negotiations with local banks on this topic are not the first year, but plans to start payments by Mir cards now acquire a real chance", - explained Snetkov.
