Russia's Ministry of Economic Development will present to the country's tour operators new tourist routes in Tanzania and believes that this will become the basis for launching charter flights.

"The potential of tourism between our countries is high, but it is necessary to promote ourselves more actively and, at the same time, create a new standard of recreation for Russians with an affordable cost of tourist products," the ministry noted, citing Nikita Kondratiev, Director of the ministry's Department for Multilateral Economic Cooperation and Special Projects.
