The federal forum will bring together over 1,000 investors, businessmen, owners and managers of ski resorts, urban and suburban tourist sites, amusement parks, hotels, sanatoriums, restaurants and representatives of federal and regional authorities.
The main goals of the forum are to discuss the strategy and implement the launch of domestic projects to create tourism infrastructure in investment-attractive territories of Russia, projects in private and public-private partnerships with foreign partners from the CIS countries, signing agreements with investment intentions for the development of tourist territories, including related to increasing the number of rooms in hotels, sanatoriums and other collective accommodation facilities (CAP), the formation of resolutions aimed at improving regulations and removing blocking legislative barriers to the development of the industry.
“The Forum has a very clear goal - we are creating a platform for productive dialogue on the most pressing topics in the hospitality and tourism industry. We are combining the efforts of government authorities with the capabilities of private investors, the potential of ski resorts and professional business communities,” comments Svetlana Danilina, creator and ideologist of the FTT-2023 Forum, deputy chairman of the board of AGKTiS.
The business program of the forum is dedicated to the issues of safe, high-quality and exciting holidays in Russia. More than 150 speakers - tourism industry experts will discuss existing regulatory barriers, consider new formats for interaction between tourism market participants and share professional experience. The main business events of the forum will be held at the RED ARENA sports and entertainment venue, located in the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone.
Olympiada Znamenskaya, creator and ideologist of the FTT-2023 Forum, director for hotel business development of the Federal Institute of Education and Science, director of the Union of Restaurant Managers of the Federal University of Education and Science, founder of the consulting company OKR Nomos: “For the first time, circumstances have developed in such a way that we urgently need a high-quality and seamless connection of related industries for social -economic development of Russian regions. We are talking about the integrated and logical development of tourist areas, where all processes are interconnected, be it a ski or sea resort, an amusement park or an open-air museum, a hotel or restaurant complex. It is important not to create “random” tourist infrastructure facilities - “as long as there is somewhere to stay and somewhere to eat,” follow uniform work standards and provide quality service!”
