Around 2 million foreign tourists will visit Russia in the days of the World Cup.
Today, the city is fully prepared to meet football fans - those who buy or have already bought tickets for football matches.
The greatest number of visitors come from Latin America, Europe, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. In addition, the number of requests increased from 17 to 40% for the purchase of air tickets to Russia from Croatia, Spain and Italy.
Due to the large number of fans a serious burden will fall on the transport hubs in Russia - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan and Yekaterinburg.
The Football World Cup 2018 will be held in the summer of 2018 in 11 cities of Russia. 32 teams will participate in the tournament.
