St Petersburg is proving an increasingly important destination for incentive group organisers, especially as we are seeing an increase in the number of hotels - great new properties such as the 5-star Spa Hotel Holiday Club St Petersburg and the new Sokos Olympic Gardens Hotels. With stable visitor numbers, the increases of hotel rates of recent years has stopped and hotels are coming more into line with international competitor cities in terms of price.

Flight availability is improving as the leisure market suffers from years of 20% price inflation and for the corporate group it is now the perfect venue. Great venues for entertaining, world-famous museums and ballet, superb historical sights and excellent standards of service combine to make this the perfect venue for your groups. We also make the provision of visas quick and easy!

A new Terminal will be constructed in Borispol Airport, Kiev. This Terminal will be used for passengers who usually buy low-cost flights.

At the airport there will be a terminal for low-cost airlines. “A tender for choosing a company to operate this project, will take place in July” Nikolay Muzyka, the Deputy Director of the airport, has reported. As he said “The Terminal will be under construction of modular designs, therefore it won’t take lots of time”. It will be able to serve not less than 600 passengers per hour. Cost of the project is estimated as 165 million UAH. With the new Terminal being constructed, the other ones will be able to accept more passengers and to conduct partial repair. The requests for participation at the tender were submitted by 5 foreign and state companies.

Another very important aspect of railway connection of the capital with Borispol airport is also discussed. “Kyivgiprotrans has already worked out two variants of high-speed transport connection”, the Deputy Director has informed. “One of these variants is the underground railway (metro), which can be built in 54 months and will cost 5 billion UAH. The second one is the usual open air railway connection, which can be built in 42 months and will cost 3,8 billiard UAH”.

New Terminal will effectively increase the flow of the passengers in the airport.
