This proves once again that China is a key player in the market of international inbound tourism in Russia.<h3>The structure of the tourist flow</h3>Moscow remains among the ten most popular foreign cities for Chinese tourists, second only to Asian capitals and top European destinations. At the same time, the pace of recovery of the total outbound tourist flow from China causes restrained optimism: it is expected that by the end of 2023 it will exceed 70 million people, which will already be relatively comparable to 102 million people in 2019.China&#x27;s attractiveness for the Russian tourist market has become even higher compared to the period when there was no coronovirus. Among other things, the ability of Chinese tourists to pay is an important factor: while in 2015 the share of the population with above-average and high incomes was 12%, in 2021 it will be 39%, an increase of 325% in just six years. However, something else has changed over the pandemic period. If before 2020, 71% of trips made by Chinese tourists were for personal purposes, then in 2023 a new trend has emerged. In the first three months of this year, only 30% of Chinese visitor arrivals were tourist-oriented, while 50% were business trips. On the other hand, in absolute terms, the picture looks more promising: the number of Chinese trips to Moscow in the same first quarter has increased fivefold compared to the same period in 2022. And the total amount of spending on business travel will exceed $400 billion as early as 2024.An increase in the inbound flow is also predicted for independent tourists. It is expected that by 2025 the growth will amount to about 70%. So far, the traditional segments remain in the lead: organized tourist trips andindependent travel with the involvement of a travel agency. In 2022, they will account for 49% and 38% of visits to Moscow accounted for 49% and 38% of visits respectively.

In 2023, China opened its borders with Russia after a long lockdown, and already in the first quarter the number of trips of Chinese tourists to our country increased fivefold compared to the same period in 2022.

How Much Do Tourists Spend During Trips to Moscow?

Here are the data for 2022Domestic tourist flow to Moscow amounted to 16.2 million trips last year. It has not yet reached the pre-Covid-19 values of 19.4 million, but the positive dynamics is evident: compared to 2021, the increase amounted to 0.9 million trips.Mostourism analyzed the data of bank transactions and cash withdrawals from ATMs, thanks to which it determined the amount of non-cash expenses made by tourists/guests of the capital during their stay in Moscow.Important: 91% of Russians sometimes pay in cash, but the vast majority, 71%, generally prefer non-cash, according to the National Agency for Financial Research&#x27;s Summer 2023 data. In addition, the analysis does not take into account expenses made in the home region, i.e. before traveling to Moscow (e.g. a payment of transportation costs, living expenses, etc.)Thus, we do not claim that we have managed to count all the expenses made by tourists during their trips to Moscow; nevertheless, the results of the analysis allow us to assess the overall dynamics and identify a number of regularities, in particular, regional differences.In 2022, tourists spent an average of 9.2 thousand rubles during their stay in Moscow. At the same time, the amount of non-cash expenses differs depending on the region from which the guests arrived. Representatives of the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, who occupied the entire top-5, spend the most.
