The head of the Russian Arctic National Park calls for a visa-free regime at Franz Josef Land
Aleksandr Kirilov believes the park has major tourism potential.
Today, tourists choose Iceland or Svalbard to get Arctic experiences. But if a special customs control zone is established in the Franz Josef Land, people might decide to visit there instead. That’s according to Aleksandr Kirilov, director of the Russian Arctic National Park, a major park that includes Franz Josef Land and parts of nearby archipelago Novaya Zemlya.
