The message reads, in part:
“Traditionally, your meeting will enable leading domestic and international industry specialists, business representatives and experts to exchange experience and present new tourism destinations that showcase culture and traditions of different countries, their rich and diverse nature, and historical heritage. Of course, the forum is yet another excellent opportunity to reveal and demonstrate the vast potential of our regions in this sphere.
It is important to make travel across Russia accessible, comfortable, and memorable. To achieve this, it is necessary to further improve tourism infrastructure, to competently and efficiently organise routes, and to make them engaging and user-friendly. Such work requires, in particular, the coordination of efforts between the state, the business community, and regional authorities to make tourism a profitable sector of the economy generating additional revenue, helping create jobs, and contributing to the preservation of museums, architectural monuments, national parks, and nature reserves.
I am confident that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the promotion of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.”
