Ukranian resort tourism in Turkey basically disappeared. Arab and other countries data will be not easy to get for truly tourists.

There is an incomplete section with a length of 162 km. the Eastern Corridor is witnessing dynamic development and growth, as the volume of freight flow through it has increased by about 1.5 times, and the railway companies in Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan have agreed on a unified freight tariff for this route. Today, companies can ship goods.” Through the (Eastern) Corridor, with prior knowledge of shipping costs. Russian Railways launched two flights a month through the (Eastern) Corridor, which means that goods can be shipped regularly from Russia to India through the corridor
