This, according to TASS, was announced by the Acting Minister of Resorts, Tourism and Olympic Heritage of the Krasnodar Territory Maria Zolotukhina.

“The requirements apply to the settlement of tourists, that is, those tourists who are already settled before July 1 complete their vacation according to the vouchers,” Zolotukhina said.
