The instructions issued to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev provide for the further development of beach areas used for recreation purposes, in particular, by improving the relevant legislation.
The Prime Minister has been instructed to take measures in keeping with the Tourism Development Strategy until 2020 to improve seaside beach areas used for recreation purposes and to review the agreements signed in 2011–2016 on the use of water bodies for recreation purposes in order to identify the auction winners that have not used or improved the water areas adjacent to the territory of hotels and tourism facilities. The agreements that are not being implemented or are in violation of legislation shall be terminated.
