The Murmansk Region government is undergoing reorganization: the tourism committee will take over the business functions that will be transferred from the Ministry of Arctic Development and Economy. The new combined department will be headed by former ombudsman for entrepreneurs' rights Marta Govor. According to Governor Andrei Chibis, this will increase the efficiency of budget spending and stimulate investment in tourism infrastructure.
Earlier, it was reported that AZUR air is launching direct flights from Vladivostok and Khabarovsk to the popular Thai resorts of Phuket and Pattaya. The new routes will begin operating in the winter season, which will simplify travel for residents of the Far East and make vacations in Thailand more affordable. In addition, experts from Yandex Travel have compiled a selection of interesting vacation routes from Krasnodar following the opening of the local airport. Thanks to the city's convenient location, it is easy to reach both the seaside resorts of the Black Sea coast and the mountainous regions of the Caucasus, making it an ideal starting point for a variety of vacations.
