Sputnik International — Russia Now Top Destination for Chinese Shoppers and Tourists

Russia has become the most attractive shopping destination for Chinese tourists this season, surpassing Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the US, Xinhua news agency has reported. 
Russia surpassed other countries in large part due to the devaluation of the ruble, which, together with the white winter, has made the country a "paradise for shopping" destination among Chinese tourists in the traditionally 'dead' winter season, RIA Novosti has explained. According to calculations by China's "Ctrip" travel agency company, prices for Russian goods have fallen by at least 30 percent, turning Russia into what Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Daily calls a dark horse for tourism.
In other works, they are no longer going to Southern Europe because the euro puts them at a disadvantage. Don't think that they aren't noticing this in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, which badly need the tourist trade they are losing.
