PANAJI: Even as a tour operator in Goa has not received confirmation of the arrival of the Charter of Russian goal, one a week of a week from Kazakhstan will land in the state since next month.
Operations will be handled by Minartravels (India).
“We have received confirmation for a week of a week from Almaty, Kazakhstan, and the first arrival is scheduled for December 9.
We also tried to chart from Ukraine,” Abida Kumar, Vice President, Operations, Minar Travels (India), told TII.
In addition Russia, over the past decade, Goa has regularly accepted the charter from two CIS countries (Independent State Commonwealth).
With Russia still staggered under the impact of the pandemic, Goa had to wait a while, and may see Charters from Russian destinations from January, the operator felt.
More than half of tourists visiting Goa is Russia, while England is also an important market.
The first Charter from England will land on December 13.
Operators see healthy reservations from the UK since India began to issue a visa last month, even as a prohibition of international travel will remain valid until the end of this month.
