Tourism strengthens Moscow’s economic stability and has a positive effect on the development of its infrastructure. This was reported by experts from the capital’s Tourism Committee.
Tourists regularly buy goods and seek services in the city, which affects the increase in Moscow’s gross regional product. According to the latest data, tourist revenues to the city budget for 2024 are estimated at 235 billion rubles, and the total contribution of the travel sector to the capital’s economy is 1.7 trillion rubles, which exceeds previously announced figures.
Over the past few years, Moscow has secured its status as a city for all-season travel — from family vacations to business trips. This is confirmed by the growing tourist flow. The successful development of the industry has become possible thanks to investments: 70 percent of budget funds are spent on improving the quality of the urban environment and the lives of Muscovites. Indirectly, this makes the capital more attractive not only for city residents, but also for tourists.
Tourism, in turn, compensates for infrastructure and improvement costs, thereby strengthening the capital’s financial system. In 2023–2024, every ruble of budget funds directly or indirectly related to increasing Moscow’s tourist attractiveness additionally increased the capital’s economy by 35.7 rubles. Of these, five rubles were budget revenues.
The positive effect of tourism on the economy is achieved by increasing the number of consumers of goods and services in Moscow. Among them are domestic and international tourists, as well as excursionists. They distribute expenses on transportation, accommodation, food, souvenirs, visiting exhibitions, museums, concerts and other entertainment and cultural events.
The Moscow Tourism Committee monitors the dynamics of tourism development in the city. In 2024, Moscow’s tourist flow amounted to 26 million people and exceeded pre-pandemic figures.
