About Us

Our history

On the 12 April 1929 – 90 years ago, the first travel company «Intourist» was created in the Soviet Union. The main task of the new company was to attract foreign tourists to Russia and to provide them with the best possible accommodation, transportation, excursions and souvenir sales.

1939 — during the 10 year existence of Intourist, 1 million (!) tourists visited the Soviet Union.

1956 — about half a million foreign citizens from 84 countries — 5 times more than during the pre-war decade — visited the Soviet Union. And more than one million Soviet people went abroad in the same year. All these customers travelled with Intourist.
