The most prestigious award in the field of tourism - Moscow and St. Petersburg

The World Travel Award is truly grandiose. The history of this award dates back to 1993. All representatives of the tourism sector know about it and for good reason. The winner is approved by voting, which is held online. Tourism specialists, as well as caring travelers, can vote.

And the news is especially pleasant that two of the most famous cities of Russia won it in several nominations at once. Behind were two dozen of the most beautiful cities in the world, such as New York, Sydney and Beijing. Even Venice is left behind.

St. Petersburg was recognized as the leading urban destination in the world this year, and in general the city became the leader in four categories. And, of course, St. Petersburg again received the title of the most cultural tourist destination. In recent years, the Northern Capital has already been awarded six world-class awards and nine European-scale awards.

Also, St. Petersburg, together with Moscow, shared the title of the best partners in terms of promoting and developing domestic tourism. After all, the cooperation program implemented in these two cities was successful.
Moscow was also recognized as the best place to plunge into history and make a short one-day trip. The mayor of the city has already expressed his joy at this event in social networks. Local residents, especially those who love to travel, also proudly noted the significance of this event.

For the first time, Moscow was awarded the prize in 2019.

In total, St. Petersburg has 4 nominations, and Moscow has 2. This is great news for the country. The development of tourism is an important and necessary element in the formation of the country's image.
The awards ceremony will be held in Moscow and this will be the second time the capital has hosted the event.
