The largest country in the world, Russia spans 11 time zones and encompasses two continents and offers tourists so much to experience in its two most popular cities. Moscow is the center of political and economic life, which undoubtedly adds significance and status to congresses and conventions held there, while in the heart of the city are churches, historic monuments, cafes and clubs, ballet, opera and circuses. The city which was built as the capital of Peter the Great's Russian empire, St. Petersburg however occupies the number one position for incentive tourism.

Moscow and St. Petersburg offer guests a number of choices in accommodations, conference halls (some located in internationally known hotels), palaces (architectural monuments of universal importance), business centers and even museums, exhibition and concert halls equipped according to the world standards.

The seaside resort city of Sochi is a popular destination which has hosted summits of Presidents and Prime-Ministers, congresses of associations and corporate events. When it snows in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other areas of Russia, Sochi welcomes guests with southern hospitality, excellent cuisine, sun and palm trees.
