Domestic tourism in Russia continues to demonstrate dynamic growth, outperforming outbound tourism. According to the latest data, the number of Russians who prefer domestic vacations has increased significantly over the past year.
This is facilitated by increased attention to national destinations, as well as measures to support domestic tourism introduced by the government. Due to restrictions and sanctions that have made it difficult to travel abroad, more and more citizens are choosing to travel to Russia's regions, including the Caucasus, the Golden Ring, Baikal and other popular destinations. In addition, infrastructure is developing, new tourist routes are appearing, opportunities for active recreation and ecotourism are expanding. All this contributes to the growth of domestic demand for tourist services and the development of the tourism industry within the country. Government programs, free excursions, development of services for families and nature lovers - all this stimulates interest and increases the flow of tourists within Russia. Experts expect the trend of increasing domestic tourism to continue in the coming years, which will have a positive impact on regional economies and create new jobs. In general, domestic tourism is becoming one of the key drivers of the development of Russia's tourism industry for the current and long-term periods.
Recent initiatives and developments in the tourism sector confirm that domestic tourism continues to grow rapidly and is becoming an important part of the economic growth of the region and the country as a whole. As part of this trend, regions are taking specific measures to attract tourists, expand infrastructure and improve the level of service. For example, Primorsky Krai plans to increase tourist flow by implementing new programs and creating attractive tourist routes, which should contribute to the development of the region and attract tourists from all over Russia. At the same time, Rybinsk is already scheduled to host an all-Russian forum dedicated to the development of domestic tourism and exchange of best practices among industry specialists.
