The architecture of the fifth, anniversary International Tourism Forum “Travel!” has been published. It will be held from June 10 to 15 in Moscow at VDNKh. The three-day business program is aimed at leading experts, representatives of government bodies, international delegations and business communities seeking to exchange experience and create new opportunities for the development of the industry. The organizer of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!” is the Roscongress Foundation together with the Ministry of Economic Development with the support of the Government.
“The Travel! Forum is a unique opportunity for citizens and guests of our country to discover the beauty and tourism potential of Russia, and get acquainted with new routes and destinations. The event will help bring together industry leaders who are ready to find innovative solutions and build long-term partnerships. As part of the business program, they will discuss the effectiveness of government support measures, the development of tourism infrastructure and the implementation of the large-scale Five Seas and Lake Baikal project of the Tourism and Hospitality national project. In order to achieve the goals set by President Vladimir Putin, special attention will be paid to the personnel issue. At the forum, representatives of business and educational institutions will discuss current educational programs for the tourism industry,” emphasized Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Travel! International Tourism Forum Dmitry Chernyshenko.
One of the key focuses of the forum is international tourism. Discussions will touch upon the most important issues related to the restoration and expansion of global tourist flows. The focus of the discussions will be on current trends, innovative technologies and strategies aimed at attracting foreign tourists, as well as the issue of strengthening the positions of Russian tourist destinations on the world stage.
No less important will be the topics of investment in the tourism industry: attracting financing for infrastructure, creating new tourist facilities and modernizing existing ones. The forum will provide a unique platform for establishing contacts between investors, businessmen and authorities interested in supporting the development of tourism in Russia.
“The business program, based on three pillars, namely international cooperation, investment and HR strategy, will become the point of intersection of ideas and innovations, creating space for real changes in the industry. “Travel!” has set itself an ambitious goal – not only to return and expand tourist flows, but also to turn around approaches to investment, infrastructure and professional training,” commented Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!”
A significant part of the business program tracks of the International Tourism Forum “Travel!” in 2025 will be devoted to professional education and training of qualified specialists for the hotel and tourism business. The forum partners will discuss key issues of personnel policy, as well as exchange best practices in creating educational programs for training in-demand specialists.
“Today, the Russian hospitality industry is changing rapidly. And the task of government bodies at all levels is to support these changes by responding to industry demands. Therefore, the Ministry of Economic Development has focused its work on the following areas that support the transformation of tourism. A new hotel classification system is being formed, instructors-guides, tour guides and guides have begun to work according to the new rules. Tools have been created to attract large investors, and dozens of large projects are already being implemented that will ensure the reception of guests in the medium term and significantly increase the market capacity. There are many issues that we need to resolve together with businesses, regions and the expert community. Among such issues are the training of qualified personnel, infrastructure development, areas of digitalization of the industry, and the creation of products for the international market. And the main platform for this dialogue is the fields of the “Travel!” forum. We have included all the current issues on the agenda in the program and will discuss them at the sessions of the business program,” said Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.
