In Russia, a tour operator specializing in travel for people with disabilities, is established

Specialized tour operator who will organize tours within Russia for disabled travelers, is established with the support of the Federal Tourism Agency, the Head of the Federal Tourism Agency Oleg Safonov said.

Tour operator Dostypny Tour (Affordable Tour), whose founder is the non-profit organization International Academy of Accessibility and Universal Design", has already been included in the Federal Registry of Tour Operators.

"The tour operator is just registered. It will specialize in travel within Russia and iin the future will also enter the outgoing market," Oleg Safonov said.
