Work in tourism - as it is.

Today, tourism in Russia is experiencing an unprecedented rise. There are several reasons for this: a gradual exit of the country from a crisis situation with the cessation of economic stagnation and the transition to an upsurge, and simplification of the issuance of passports with the introduction of a visa-free travel regime with an increasing number of countries, and an increase in the welfare of the middle class of the population, (And tourist passes are the same goods). Accordingly, the rate of expansion in this segment of the labor market is constantly opening all new vacancies, but the flow of people who need work in tourism is very large.
