Rosturizm plans to create a unified information system that controls the tourist market of Russia
By the end of this year, Rosturizm plans to launch a test version of the Electronic Voucher information system. Information about purchased tour packages will be stored there. The system will allow you to track financial transactions of players in the tourist market of Russia. The system will store data from state, tourist, banking and other information systems. The full version of the system should be ready by the end of 2017.
The project will be implemented by Asteros IT-company, 97.5% of which is owned by its top managers and founder Yury Byakov. For the creation of a test version of the Federal Agency for Tourism will pay the company 153 million rubles. The cost of the entire project is estimated at 600 million rubles. However, it is likely that this amount will be reduced.
The idea of ​​the project originated in 2012 after the bankruptcy of "Lanta-Tour". When in the autumn of 2014 a whole wave of bankruptcies of tour operators swept across the country, the final decision was made to develop an “Electronic Voucher”.

“Information disclosure will be inevitable, the department will see the full picture of where tourists are, how many of them there are, and which operators are dumping,” Deputy Minister of Culture Anna Manilova noted last year.
Tour operators come out with harsh criticism against disclosing information. They fear that the Rostourism will control the personal data of customers, that is, the entire customer base, as well as the financial flows of tour operators.
Vice-President of the Russian Union of Travel Industry Yuri Barzykin fears problems with administering the system: "Tour operators work with hundreds of agencies, everyone will have to put special programs, costs will first fall on the shoulders of companies, and then tourists."
The concept of "electronic voucher" does not yet appear in the sectoral legislation. But the corresponding amendments were sent to the State Duma. The concept of this information system is still being discussed with the participation of representatives of the tourism business.
“When was the last time the concept was presented to tour operators,“ E-ticket ”contained only 10% of the necessary information,” representative of Biblio Globus Igor Antonov told Kommersant. He doubts that in the near future the system will provide mechanisms for recording, storing and processing all the necessary information.
