"Despite all the geopolitical difficulties, both tour operators and organizations involved in the digitalization of services are still moving forward, creating mutual payment systems for tourism needs," the official states.
Issuing any kind of bank cards for travelers is no longer so relevant, he notes, as there are new technologies that make it possible to do without them, including contactless and cashless payments.
"Apparently, this is the direction in which the development of our tourist exchanges will move in terms of financial support, creating additional potential for the growth of tourist flows," the ambassador says.
A mobile app allowing payments from Thai bank accounts in Russia already exists, as well as the Russian Sberbank QR code scanning payment system, he adds.
