The US administration announced that from November 1, it will lift the ban on entry to the United States for vaccinated citizens of European Union member states, as well as China, Brazil, India and South Africa.

The ban on EU citizens entering the United States was introduced by US President Donald Trump in March 2020 in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. Under the head of the White House, Joe Biden, the regime was extended.

Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
