Sa manje od dvije sedmice do utakmice 21. FIFA Svjetskog prvenstva, Ruska Federacija je bila domaćin za oko milion navijača koji su prisustvovali utakmicama u jedanaest gradova širom zemlje. U periodu od 4. juna do 15. jula 2018. podaci koje je napravio ForwardKeys pokazali su povećanje od 50.5% u odnosu na prethodnu godinu za međunarodne dolaske u Rusku Federaciju.

Gloria Guevara, predsjednica i izvršna direktorica, WTTC, said “Travel & Tourism creates jobs, drives economic growth and helps build better societies. This is particularly the case in Russia, the 16th largest tourism economy in the world, with Moscow generating more than a quarter of Russia’s tourism revenue. Hosting this World Cup has given Russia the opportunity to showcase cities across the country and bring together millions of travellers, while contributing to the economic growth of the sector and creating jobs.”

“Širom svijeta, 2017. je bila jedna od najjačih godina rasta BDP-a putovanja i turizma u jednoj deceniji. Naš sektor sada podržava jedno od deset radnih mjesta na planeti i doprinosi 10% globalnog BDP-a. U proteklih deset godina, jedno od pet od svih otvorenih radnih mjesta širom svijeta bilo je u sektoru i, uz odgovarajuću podršku vlada, moglo bi se otvoriti skoro 100 miliona novih radnih mjesta u narednoj deceniji.”
