New Delhi [India], June 24: Few cities carry the weight of Moscow’s cultural legacy and match it with the infrastructure of a modern world capital. Now, the Moscow City Tourism Committee is bringing that proposition directly to the Indian market. In a significant move, QnA International has announced Moscow as a Destination Partner for the 13th Annual MICE India & Luxury Travel (MILT) Congress 2026, to be held on 23–24 July 2026 at ITC Grand Goa, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa.
Moscow’s appeal to Indian travellers goes well beyond iconic landmarks. The city offers an unmatched combination: luxury hotels with genuine five-star service, heritage venues that span centuries of Russian history, year-round programming that ensures no two visits are alike, and a MICE infrastructure capable of hosting the world’s most demanding events.
Natalia Voskanyants, Head of Corporate Meetings & Incentive Travel Department, Moscow City Tourism Committee, describes the city’s strategic posture: “Moscow is a vibrant megacity with rich cultural heritage and exceptional offerings. Easy visa processes, targeted marketing, ongoing infrastructure improvement, and building strong connections with India’s tourism sector — that is our strategy. We are not just promoting a destination. We are building a long-term relationship with the Indian market.”
Recognizing the growing demand for immersive travel, Moscow’s ‘Summer in Moscow’ programme transforms the city into a living cultural stage. Festivals such as ‘Moscow Estates’ and ‘Times and Epochs’ offer visitors engaging experiences through interactive activities, performances, and historical recreations.
“Events unfold across Moscow and tourists become central participants — not spectators. These initiatives particularly resonate with travellers seeking authentic immersion into local life over standard sightseeing itineraries.” adds Natalia Voskanyants
For Indian MICE planners looking to reward high performers with something genuinely memorable, this cultural depth adds a dimension few European capitals can match.
“Curated B2B platforms like MILT are invaluable for destinations looking to build meaningful market access in India. They enable focused engagement with pre-qualified buyers, fostering stronger business relationships and tangible outcomes. For Moscow, MILT is an opportunity to build trust, strengthen brand awareness, showcase tailored tourism experiences, and develop long-term partnerships. More importantly, it allows us to better understand Indian traveller preferences and co-create relevant travel products that drive sustainable growth in this important market,” says Natalia Voskanyants.
Sidh NC, Director, QnA International, welcomed the partnership: “Moscow is a destination that surprises people — and in the best possible way. Indian buyers who have not yet considered it are in for a revelation. The cultural depth, the infrastructure, the sheer scale of what the city offers for incentive travel — it is a genuinely compelling story, and through MILT Congress, we are creating the right platform for meaningful conversations, strategic partnerships, and greater destination awareness. We believe Moscow’s story is one that deserves to be discovered.”
