Beside the plans for outbound tourism, she presented the initiatives of the company in sphere of the incoming tourism. In particular, the tour operator intends to invest into hotel chain in Russia – four hotels, in Yaroslavl, Sochi, Moscow and Moscow region. The partners – local companies – will invest 50% of total volume of investments. According to data available to BANKO at least three other Russian tour operators have similar plans. As for outbound tourism Lanta-tour Voyage made changes to the tactics on the UAE destination: in season 2006-2007 the company will work in co-operation with Pakistan Airlines and Singapore Airlines. Ludmila Puchkova, said: ‘we are the first company that will co-operate with Singapore Airlines. We believe our cooperation will be a success as the Airline contributes a lot into the positive image of the company’. Furthermore, special attention was paid to the previously announced Transaero flight to Vietnam. Moreover, the perspectives of the Brazilian destination were discussed. Ludmila Puchova also focused on work with agents owing the coming changes within the legislature. ‘at the moment we are waiting for by-laws that will effectively regulate the work of travel agents. We do not intend to either adopt any changes within the work with travel agents or establish a travel agent chain in the nearest future’, Puchkova commented. According to her, the politics of exclusive offers that suggests loyalty of travel agents will hardly pay off owing high competitiveness of the market and substitutability of the majority of programs.
