The Research Centre NAFI has published the results of a survey which show that most Russians didn’t go on holiday during summer 2020, and those who did mostly travelled by car.

One of the highest profile participants at SPIEF 2018 was of course Sadhguru, a yogi and mystic and the founder of the Isha Foundation. He captivated the audience with his distinctive traditional attire and his thinking, which he presented at two sessions, ‘From Ambition to Vision’ and ‘Forecast 2100: Technologies of the Future’.

People come to St. Petersburg to enjoy its beautiful architecture, world-famous museums, canals, panoramic views of the Neva and... business meetings. The number of conferences and exhibitions hosted by the city grows with each passing year. And the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum plays a vital role here.
