Malaysia has become an unexpected leader in global tourism, drawing visitors with its mix of modern cities, tropical landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. The country’s latest campaign, Visit Malaysia 2026, aims to attract even more travellers by showcasing new routes, hotels, and local experiences. Malaysia’s appeal lies in its diversity. Bustling megacities stand alongside serene islands, while ancient temples and lively street food scenes add to the experience. Officials predict around 140,000 Russian tourists will visit in 2026—an 8% rise from the previous year. The Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign highlights fresh travel options, newly opened accommodations, and culinary festivals, along with flexible discounts and unique excursions.

Elsewhere, the Philippines has seen growing interest from Russian travellers. Direct flights from Russia’s Far East have made the destination more accessible. Known for its crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and tranquil lagoons, the country offers a peaceful retreat. A 10-day trip there costs between 120,000 and 150,000 rubles per person. Zanzibar is also gaining attention as one of Africa’s most promising tourism spots. With its pristine beaches and cultural charm, it attracts visitors looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure. A 10-day stay in Zanzibar averages 200,000 to 220,000 rubles per traveller.

Malaysia’s tourism sector is expanding, with targeted campaigns and new offerings designed to lure international visitors. The Philippines and Zanzibar are also rising in popularity, each providing distinct experiences for travellers. Costs vary, but all three destinations are positioning themselves as must-visit spots in the coming years.
