Violence in France induce Russians to cancel their tours, which they bought in advance.

Russian Union of Tour Industry spokeswoman Irina Tyurina informed RIA "Novosti" about that.
"People show doubts about safety during tours in Paris but there were no any denials, only two children did not come to some child group".

But, she say, there were no new applications for tours to French capital in Russian tourist agencies during last few days. "There is reduction of demand", - said Tyurina. As the result not only Russian agencies will take a bath, but French cities which have incomes provided by tourists.

Russian Foreign Ministry published a statement before and appealed Russian citizens to behave carefully in France, to check for instructions by local officials and tourist agencies. Twenty-four-hour "hot line" was organized in Russian embassy in France for urgent connection with Russian nationals who are in difficult situations. Calls from Russia - 8 10 331 45 04 05 50, from France - 01 45 04 05 50.
