The Russian government approved the rules of emergency aid to tourists and the rules of financing the expenses from the compensation fund of the tour operators' association “Turpomosch" (Tourism Help). According to these arrangements, the emergency aid is rendered to a tourist in a foreign country in case of impossibility of performance, non-performance or improper performance of the obligations under the contract on the implementation of tourism products by the tour operator. At that, the rules do not apply in the event of evacuation of Russian tourists by the President of the Russian Federation in connection with the emergence of security threats to their lives and health. The aid will be rendered only to those tourists who concluded a contract with the travel company-member of the "Turpomosch" association.
