00:00स mismos is the same we can say about the tourism.
00:05Because tourism is not only just to go to a place.
00:08It's to see its culture, to see its people, to talk with people.
00:14And of course, it's to develop business between Russia and India.
00:20It's to develop the cultural ties, it's to develop friendship, as we say.
00:24and I'm very glad that today's meeting is happening in the Russian house as we are
00:30saying that tourism it's it's this fear that makes people to feel comfortable
00:38in other country and I'm as I say I'm really glad that we are making
00:44comfortable people from India here in the Russian house and I hope that from
00:48today's we will find lots of different ways of cooperation in this
00:58excuse me
01:04lots of Russian they want to go to India because as you know that Indian movies
01:09Indian music Russians love Indian movies and Indian music from their childhood and
01:17of course they're very interested to see such places it's Taj Mahal and gates
01:24of India and other and other tourist attractions and of course I would say
01:31that India is a country of I would call India country of dreams to any Russian
01:37because we have lots of fairy tales songs and traditional traditional tales about
01:47Russian Russian traveler come to India and as you know the first European
01:52ever came to India he was Russian more than 500 years ago so we have a long story
01:58of relationships

02:05presentations be presenting themselves to the Indian audience as you see there you saw lots of
02:11presentations today and now I have their discussions going on and very fruitful as I

04:20Committee for External Relations, we brought our team here, it includes also tour operators from Russia who sell existing tours
04:28around Ladoga Lake, it is the second largest lake in Eurasia and the first largest lake in Europe, immense territory
04:37and very beautiful northern and accessible nature.
04:40What is important about us that we combine high-level infrastructure with accommodation that shows the beauty of the northern
04:50nature. For example, there is a lot of panorama hotels, panorama cottages and they are warm, so the Indian people
04:59who got used to the warm climate, they won't suffer from cold wind because they can watch it from the
05:05window, drinking some interesting warm drinks,
05:08typical northern recipes like we already discussed with buckhorn, with linga berries, with some unusual berries like blackberry and so
05:18on and it is our tradition also, so we ran the traditions as well and our people are also fond
05:25of wellness, so spa facilities are developing and for example we have got even medical care facilities at the resorts
05:32like binaural sleeping, it is for a tired citizen who would like maybe to relax,
05:38and watch the nature around the exotic nature, we have got granite cliffs and they are really beautiful, they are
05:47bright red colour and all this mix of red and green and during the golden autumn we call it when
05:54vivid bright colours in the forest arrive, that is a fairytale and you don't need to go to far destinations,
06:01it's all in one package,
06:02people land in Saint Petersburg, people land in Saint Petersburg, being picked up by a personal service or they can
06:07also drive themselves to rent a car and go through a really high speed highway that was developed by the
06:13Russian government, a great infrastructure, so our territory is a territory of a large scale investment and it is not
06:20new, some of the resorts exist for more than 20 years,
06:24and first they developed a skiing facilities and still they keep to it, they have got skating rings and you
06:33don't need to bring anything with you, they have got, you will be equipped, so you don't need to pay
06:38for extra luggage to go to skiing in Russia, so everything is afforded and instructors, because Russian schools, sports school
06:46for mountain skiing, for snowboarding and for skating is well known in the whole world,
06:52and as we are in the second near to the northern capital, our region, the language region is near the
06:59Saint Petersburg, a renowned cultural capital of Russia and the business centre of Russia, definitely the people who work at
07:08our facilities, they also have got a great influence, so you can rely on quality, so we put our positioning
07:16on nature, quality, wellness, beauty,
07:20and maybe interesting gastronomic experience, tasting the north safely, well and what about what sometimes becomes a disadvantage in Russia,
07:32that is little of Indian cuisine, the issue that there is an Indian community in Saint Petersburg and we know
07:40already the people,
07:41we do together yoga day, it's a wonderful holiday, it's a wonderful holiday and a lot of Russian people, they
07:46join and Indian cuisine is widespread, so there are cooks and what is more important, the resorts are ready to
07:53adjust to strictly Indian friendly cuisine, thank you.
