The yachts which fly the flags of foreign countries will possibly be able to enter the Russian waters in autumn.
Such law has been already endorsed by the Ministries and Agencies and most likely will be adopted during the autumn session, said the Head of the Department of the Ministry of Sport, Tourism and Youth Policy of the Russian Federation Nadezhda Nazina in the framework of the 2nd International Conference “Maritime Tourism” in St. Petersburg.
However with the adoption of the law the problem of entering Russian waters won’t be completely solved. The major parts of the bodies of water of Russia don’t have necessary infrastructure and are not ready for receiving the yachts of foreign tourists. It’s also necessary to make a schedule of shipping locks and install signs in English. Source: www.atorus.ru
