GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Russian and Palestinian tourism officials and travel agencies discussed, earlier this month, measures to triple the number of tourists from Russia to Palestine.
“The conference aimed to create a network between the Russian and Palestinian tourism sectors, as well as enhancing their cooperation to increase the number of Russian tourists visiting Palestine each year, from about 380,000 to 1 million in 2019,” Jaris Qamseya, spokesman for the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, told Al-Monitor.
