Russia’s leading tourism and travel exhibition, Otdykh LEISURE, will be held September 21-24, 2010 in the International Exhibition Center “Crocus Expo” in Moscow, Russia. Having been granted the status of an “UFI-approved event,” Otdykh LEISURE will again be held as part of MATIW – Moscow Autumn Travel Industry Week.

The 16th edition of the show promises to brake all records in the number of visitors and exhibitors. After a competitive event in Expo Center was cancelled by its organizers, traditional professional exhibition in Crocus Expo remains the only professional tourism exhibition in Moscow in the autumn; it now enjoys an even stronger response and interest of both Russian and International tourism professionals. All Russian key players and leading tour operators have already booked their stands, and NTOs and private companies from over 55 countries have confirmed their participation.

Otdykh LEISURE is known as a must-attend event for winter destinations: from long-haul and exotic destinations in South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Australia to European spa and ski destination. For years, the show has been a professional platform for international suppliers to meet Russian outbound trade, to present new prices and packages, and to sign contracts.

Otdykh LEISURE 2010 expects a great number of trade visitors. A new metro station of a regular metro line was recently opened directly on the grounds of the exhibition center. It means that, Crocus Expo is now easy, quick, and convenient to get to – only 20 minutes to the city center of Moscow.
