Almost 400 Russian tourists stranded in Goa

February 01, 2012 10:58

Nearly 380 Russian tourists are stranded in Goa, four days after the sudden suspension of operations by Russia's biggest tour operator Lanta Tur Voyage on account of financial collapse.

Vikram Varma, representative of the Russian consulate in Goa, said around 160 tourists had been sent back in the last three days on two flights. "Negotiations are in process to ensure that none of them are left grounded in the state," he said.

Lanta Tur Voyage had stopped operations last week, resulting in several thousand travellers who had purchased tour packages from the company being stranded.
