The United Nations World Tourism Organisation said on Wednesday that Russia had decided to quit the international agency just as its member states were preparing to vote on Russia's suspension over its invasion of Ukraine.

A UNWTO spokesperson said that despite Russia's withdrawal, the assembly would still suspend it as that move would have immediate effects while the formal pull-out process would take a year to complete.

A two-thirds majority of 160 total member states must back the suspension, which would only have symbolic consequences for Russia.
