OREANDA-NEWS Direct flights between Kazan and Budapest will open in October this year, which will contribute to the growth of tourist flow and the development of economic cooperation between Tatarstan and Hungary, said the Consul General of Hungary in Kazan, Adam Stifter. 

Direct flight, according to the consul, will contribute to the growth of tourist traffic, as well as the intensification of cultural and trade and economic relations between Hungary and Tatarstan. According to Stifter, the Consulate General of Hungary in Kazan expected to issue about 5,000 visas this year, but with the launch of direct air communication this figure is likely to be significantly exceeded. The consulate is already preparing for the increased interest of residents of Tatarstan and other regions of the consular district to travel to Hungary and more active demand for visa processing, therefore, since October another consular officer will appear in the state.
