Along with the number of tours, expert travel itineraries and leisure programs, the number of national cultural sites presented in the service is growing.

More than a million people have already used the Russpass travel service. Today it features more than two thousand proposals, said Natalya Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow. The service for traveling within Russia, launched last summer, is run by the Moscow Government together with regional authorities.

"Russpass has been operating for nine months. During this time, more than a million people have used it, and the number of the featured tourist offers exceeds two thousand. Along with a total number of tours, expert travel itineraries and leisure programs, the number of national cultural sites presented in the service is growing. Only museums which are offered by the service are more than 400 now", said Natalya Sergunina.

Recently, an option of group booking of excursion programs has become available. You can choose from a variety of more than 20 tours, including trips to Moscow, the Moscow region, the Tver region, the Novgorod and Sakhalin regions, Khabarovsk Krai, and the number of destinations is growing.

At the beginning of spring, three new user-friendly features appeared on Russpass. That is, an option of complex routes planning for multimodal travelling, offering tickets for a plane, train and bus in one place. The service will provide a best planned route, tailored according to a tourist's wishes.

The second new function is an interactive map of Russia with location of sites, museums, theaters and restaurants. The map helps users to examine the travel opportunities of the capital and other cities.

Moreover, authorization is now possible through the largest domestic and foreign online platforms. Travelers may log onto the Russpass portal using their mos.ru account or a social media account.
