On August 10, the tour operator BSI GROUP's summer party, "Royal Party," took place at the Royal Bar restaurant on the Moskva River embankment. Representatives from over 50 leading Moscow travel agencies attended the event.
The official part of the evening was opened by the company's CEO – Vadim Ostrovsky. In his address, Mr. Ostrovsky discussed the tour operator's priorities, plans, and future development strategy in the Russian market. Vadim Ostrovsky also emphasized that outbound tourism is not the tour operator's only specialization. "BSI GROUP occupies a leading position in the educational, business, and MICE tourism segments in Russia. Over the years, the company has completed projects for a large number of international and Russian companies in the IT, banking, finance, and other sectors, including some of the most renowned brands.
"Our company, as part of an international tourism holding company that includes travel agencies, online visa and travel booking services, and VIP client services, has a well-developed network of reliable partners worldwide. This enables BSI to solve even the most complex client challenges, no matter where in the world they are implemented," said Vadim Ostrovsky.
The official portion of the event was continued by Natalia Brodskaya, Director of Outbound Tourism at BSI GROUP, who presented the company's tours and new flight programs for the 2017 fall/winter season. Ms. Brodskaya reported that the tour operator has already fully developed its travel product for the fall/winter season and is ready to offer its clients many exciting options: Christmas and New Year's tours to Paris and Alsace on Air France flights, Disneyland tours with discounts up to 20% and complimentary half-board, a wide selection of hotels, chalets, and apartments at ski resorts in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria, and New Year's tours to Hungary and Italy on Aeroflot flights.

Elena Gorokhova, Head of the UK and Ireland Department at BSI GROUP, continued her presentation, reminding everyone that BSI GROUP is the only tour operator in Russia with its own inbound companies in London and Edinburgh, as well as its own transport company in London. According to Ms. Gorokhova, in the fall-winter season, BSI GROUP is ready to offer the most favorable conditions for travel to the UK, including luxury tours and services for the most discerning clients. "We have contracts with over 1,500 UK hotels, weekly reserved seats on Aeroflot and British Airways flights, exclusive contracts with suppliers in the UK, and a wide range of customized and luxury services. Therefore, as a tour operator, we can offer the best conditions on the market for travel to the UK," said Elena Gorokhova.
