The Number of Industrial Tourists in Russia Is Growing
15 May
In Russia, the number of industrial tourists is growing by an average of 40% per year. This was stated by Sergey Katyrin, the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (CCI) at the XVI International Economic Forum “Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum”.
“The level of industrial tourism in Russia is gaining numbers — from year to year it is increasing by an average of 40%, and in some regions — by 60%. Many of them show very good results and have their own programmes,” he declared.
According to him, today in the Russian Federation there is an understanding in which direction it is necessary to move for the development of industrial tourism. In particular, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives may consider providing additional financial preferences for enterprises engaged in this area.
To date, 2 thousand enterprises have been opened in Russia for visiting, Katyrin noted. Most regions of the country, Tatarstan among them, have joined the development of industrial tourism.
Katyrin remarked that Russia and the member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have prospects for cooperation in the field of industrial tourism. The Russian Federation has agreements with some states on the implementation of joint projects. Representatives of Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and other countries discussed the prospects for the development of industrial tourism at KazanForum.
“It should be borne in mind that the countries of the Islamic world have their own specifics. All these aspects should be taken into account,” the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia noted.
