Recently, the Russian Ministry of Tourism of Primorsky Krai announced that according to current Russian laws, only citizens of the Russian Federation who have passed the legal procedures in accordance with section 4.4 of the “Basic Law on Tourism Business of the Russian Federation” have the right to engage in tour explanation activities within Russia. Personnel who are not qualified to explain tours, such as providing visitors with services such as introducing tourist attractions and accompanying visitors along the route, will be deemed an administrative offense and fined up to 50,000 rubles. Since this year, many cases of Chinese citizens violating these laws have been investigated and dealt with. As the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays approach, the Consulate General in Vladivostok reminds Chinese citizens and tourism agencies in the consular area to abide by the above laws and regulations and maintain good travel order. At the same time, the Consulate General reminds Chinese citizens planning to travel to the Russian Far East to make thorough preparations before the trip, choose a formal, legal and reputable tourism agency, follow the customs in their hometown, and travel safely and civilly.
