Harness the potential in Russia’s largest region
Siberia is a vast territory, with an area of 8 million square kilometres and a population of 42.2 million. Over the last decade, Siberia’s travel and tourism industry has experienced significant growth and looks set to follow the success of Moscow and St. Petersburg’s tourism industries. Indicators of economic efficiency and growth determinants for majority of Siberian regions and territories considerably exceed the Russian economy average, making it an ideal place to invest.
The international airport Tolmachevo links Novosibirsk with many countries of the world. Regular flights connect Siberia with Germany, UAE, Israel, Korea and China. There are charter flights to Thailand, Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Czech Republic, and up to 12 flights a day from Novosibirsk to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The region boasts over 1,000 travel companies (260 based in Novosibirsk), most of which offer outbound tourism services.
