"The presentation of this gingerbread, which is our pride and the most famous Russian brand, will take place in January at the international tourism exhibition in Austria, and in March - in Serbia," - the head of the regional committee said.
"The FIFA World Cup is certainly a key event for Russia's tourism industry, and we are interested in seeing the guests of the World Cup able to visit the sights of the Tula region.

We expect that the fans will be interested in the Tula Kremlin, the museum of weapons, the birthplace of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy Yasnaya Polyana, small towns of the region," said V. Allahverdov.
