Russian tourists can visit Abkhazia again due to the stabilization of the political situation inside the country. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation informs about the resumption of travel opportunities for tourists, tour operators and other market participants.

- Currently, the situation in Abkhazia has stabilized, as reported by the Russian Foreign Ministry. In this regard, the Ministry of Economic Development cancels the recommendations and informs about the possibility of resuming trips and selling tourist products with a visit to Abkhazia. At the same time, the standard rules for citizens traveling on vacation remain relevant, including caution in the dark and potentially dangerous places, as well as respect for local customs and traditions, the ministry said in an official statement.

The decision to suspend the sale of tourist products related to visits to Abkhazia was made by the Russian ministry in November 2024 against the background of internal political events in the neighboring republic.
