Russians began to travel to Africa more often. The demand for travel to African countries has increased considerably due to the expansion of direct flights. According to ATOR, in eight months of 2026 Zanzibar received more Russian tourists than last year as a whole, and Tunisia received more than 50 thousand travelers compared to 35.5 thousand in 2025 as a whole. 33.6 thousand Russians visited the Seychelles in nine months - 8.1 thousand more than in the same period last year. The flow of tourists to Morocco, Mauritius and South Africa is also increasing. At the same time, Kenya attracts Russian tourists even without direct flights: about 8 thousand people visited it in eight months.
