On the way to Booking.com Russian: ordering rail and water transport will be added to the national reservation system
The Russian national online booking system is expanding. In addition to air tickets, it will be possible to pre-order tickets for rail, water transport, hotel rooms and guide services. The new service is implemented on the basis of the tourist information portal russia.travel , which is currently under development.
According to the head of Rostourism, Oleg Safonov, the portal will provide all the information necessary for a potential traveler about recreational sites, cultural and historical landmarks of the Russian regions. “That is, tickets, plus information, useful for Russian and foreign tourists. But this is the first stage, ”Safonov emphasizes. Innovation should contribute to the development of domestic and inbound tourism, as well as lower prices for recreation.
In August 2014, the Ministry of Culture initiated the creation of a national reservation system for tourism services. According to the department, the system should become the Russian equivalent of Booking.com . At the same time it was reported that "Rostec" creates a Russian air ticket booking system.

Such services “allow users, in this case we are talking about tourists, without departing from the computer, in a few“ clicks ”to get the necessary information about the whole range of offers on the market and choose the appropriate option. In addition, such systems develop competition between service providers, and this means that it affects price reduction and quality improvement for consumers, ”Mr. Safonov told Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
“Megamind” wrote that in March “Rostelecom” launched a travel services aggregator. The aggregator works on the basis of two services: Oktogo (for booking hotels) and Biletix.ru (for buying tickets). The role of Rostelecom itself is to link all this into a single infrastructure and provide users with access to all services at once through a special portal.
