Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov spoke about the development of the domestic tourism industry and its achievements.
“Today, the tourism sector in Russia unites more than 200 thousand companies, employing over 1 million people. The national project “Tourism and Hospitality Industry” helps to create new resorts, points of attraction and make travel around the country safer, more accessible and more comfortable. More than 50 thousand hotel rooms are being built under the preferential lending program alone. Another 70 thousand will appear during the construction of federal year-round seaside resorts within the framework of the “Five Seas and Lake Baikal” project, which is being implemented on behalf of President Vladimir Putin,” noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister added that almost 58.5 million tourist trips were made in Russia in the first eight months of this year, an increase of 11.4% compared to the same period last year. In July and August, the number of tourist trips was the highest in the history of statistical observations – 10 million monthly.
It is expected that by the end of the year the number of tourist trips within the country will reach a record 91 million.
By 2030, the tourist flow in the country should grow to 140 million trips per year – this is the goal set by President Vladimir Putin.
Today, tourism is becoming a driver for other industries, as well as a growth point for regional economies. Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov noted that investments in the industry exceeded 800 billion rubles last year alone.

“Today we are seeing a real investment boom in the tourism market. In the first half of the year, the volume of investments amounted to 377 billion rubles, which is 64% more than last year. These figures include new hotels, new ski resorts, amusement parks, and tourist attractions. This year alone, we will allocate over 30 billion rubles under three key programs of the national project – the preferential lending program, support for the construction of modular hotels, and a single subsidy. We are currently finalizing the updated national project “Tourism and Hospitality”. The national project retained the support measures that have already proven themselves well. We have finalized the rules taking into account current tasks. For example, for the development of car tourism, we determined that projects related to the development of infrastructure for priority automobile tourist routes will receive additional points. This way, we will be able to more actively develop infrastructure that will make car travel more comfortable and safer. The industry has excellent prospects,” concluded Maxim Reshetnikov.
