I have no basis of comparison, so I can't really say.
Tourism developed since the 60s, and many foreigners arrived here, from COMECON chiefly DDR, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, for normal vacation not just to buy stuff. From the SU, I dunno, there were lot of those who was on business - diplomats, KGB agents, soldiers of the occupational force, etc - they bought stuff here and sent it to home, for family or for passing it further via black market.
The real money maker in tourism were the western visitors, because we could have them in numbers, and we could offer them services somewhat resembling to westernish standards. Mainly from Austria and BRD. German-German relations bloomed here since the Wall was built. They couldn't come unregulated ofc.
