The possibilities of the "Green Button" application for tourists will be expanded to new Russian regions. This was announced on August 12 by Yuri Belousov, CEO of the news aggregator SMI2.

According to him, the Green Button application in the consortium with the Special Protected Natural Areas of Russia (SPNA) has received two grants for the digitalization of protected areas in the Kaluga and Vladimir regions.

"This means that the application's capabilities will be expanded to new regions, and tourists will get more opportunities on a single digital platform," Belousov said.

He also added that the application is panicking to launch a section with publications of useful and interesting travel content in Russia.

In addition, the press service of SMI2 reported that Kamchatka nature reserves have increased the tourist flow to a number of natural parks by one and a half times thanks to the "Green Button", as it simplifies ticket purchase and route planning in natural areas.
