President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues.

Based on the priorities outlined in the Address, today we will discuss specific decisions that will form the backbone of the revised national project Tourism and the Hospitality Industry. Its implementation should start early next year.

As a reminder, we started working on the national project in the sphere of tourism in conjunction with the Federation constituent entities and businesses back in 2021. The proposed system tools and approaches have proved their effectiveness.

Last year alone, the number of tourists visiting Dagestan more than quadrupled, and tourist traffic to the Altai Republic, Adygea and the Leningrad Region doubled.

Almost all regions now have itineraries that are of interest for families with children and people of all ages. Popular science-, event-, and the manufacturing industry-related tourism is on the rise. Special youth and school programmes are now available.

Just like in all other key areas of our development, we need to make advances in the sphere of tourism (both literally and figuratively), and to set and achieve new meaningful goals.

As I conveyed in my Address to the Federal Assembly, we will need to almost double the number of annual trips around the country to 140 million by 2030. To do so, we need to expand the number of affordable tourist services to suit any taste, so that our people can enjoy Russia's unique nature, learn more about our great history and culture, and have fun at sea, ski, and health resorts, as well as at all-seasons theme parks.

To be continued.
