In 2022, approximately 22.5 million outbound tourist trips were taken abroad by Russian tourists, up 17 percent from the previous year. In 2020, the figures sharply decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering all travel purposes, Russians’ most popular outbound destinations were Abkhazia (recognized as a state by Russia) and Turkey.
Turkey was the leading international tourism destination, visited by over 5.2 million Russians with tourism purposes in 2022. The United Arab Emirates ranked second, with a tourist count of around 1.2 million. Tanzania and the Maldives experienced a tourist boost from Russia in 2020, as the countries' borders were open to Russians in spite of COVID-19 restrictions.
