The Primorye zone where Tigre de Cristal operates in Russia has been certified “China Friendly” under a federal program that encourages the presence of Chinese tourists. Tourism-related entities, such as hotels and museums, can get a certification for a fee in order to get advertised in Chinese sites.
“We are trying to maintain an equally high level of service for tourists from any country, however, given the geographical position of Primorye Territory, tourists and gamblers from China are our main foreign clients.” – stated Stylianos Tsifetakis, CEO of Tigre de Cristal.
The CEO added: “Starting from this year our guests can not only visit restaurants or play in the casino but also make purchases in luxury stores. The DOMINO trading pavilions of premium watches and jewelry now conform to the international standards for the reception of Chinese tourists and have acquired the China Friendly status.”
Stylianos Tsifetakis said that they plan that these stores will receive the duty-free status in the near future, which is another positive factor to bring tourists.
