You can also group cities with travel agencies by region or alphabetically.
Another new feature is the introduction of tangible proof of Catalog membership: now any TA Catalog member can order a personalized designer Certificate and Pennant confirming their membership in the Catalog! It's important to note that, as before, membership in the TA Catalog is free.
Finally, we would like to remind you that the Russian Travel Agency Directory is an independent project aimed at providing tourists with access to a complete and objective list of Russian travel agencies with which tour operators have official contractual relationships, as required by Federal Law on Tourism No. 132-FZ. The directory was created with the support of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) and the Alliance of Travel Agencies (ATA) and is posted on the portal of the Tourprom information group.
It is crucial that this project is supported by Rospotrebnadzor (the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing), which has posted a link to the Catalogue on its official website in the section Home — Consumer Guide — Current Information — An expanded catalogue of Russian travel agencies has been published.
