Putin offers easing visa regime for some categories of tourists from BRICS countries

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to ease visa regime for some categories of tourists from BRICS countries.

“In order to attract foreign tourists, it is probably worth considering to further ease visa regime – for instance, to expand practice of visa-free group exchange. And it can be done for all countries which we call BRICS countries,” Putin told the Russian State Council’s presidium session on tourism reminding that such practice is already being used with China.
