Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the research was to find out if Russian citizens were to travel to Finland more often if there was no visa required. As a person who lives that close to the border of Russia and Finland (which is nowadays a part of European Union) it has been really interesting to follow the relationships between the two countries and how they have been developing through the years.
The theoretical information for the research was collected through visa and tourism related books, newspapers and Internet pages. The study was carried out at the travel agencies in Vyborg and St. Petersburg as well as on-line.
There was always been a hope for Russian citizens to travel to the neighboring country without visa and lately there are more and more evidence of this dream to become the reality. This research was aimed to explore how willing are Russian tourists to travel and how visa abolishment would change the frequency of their travels. The results of the study show the potential growth of the tourists flow from Russia to Finland.
