President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held a working meeting with members of the Government. The meeting was held in the format of a videoconference, it was attended by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
During the meeting, the issues of readiness for the winter tourist season were discussed. The national project “Tourism and the hospitality industry”, launched on the instructions of the President, is developing rapidly. This is due to grant support for construction, various investment projects, as well as the growth of business investments in the tourism industry. In addition, the Government is carrying out extensive work in this area to organize import substitution for the production of domestic equipment for ski resorts.
Here, on your instructions, together with Denis Valentinovich Manturov, investors, representatives of resorts, equipment manufacturers, we consolidated the entire order from the tourism industry for all key types of equipment. To equip the main promising ski resorts that we are currently seeing, which are under construction or are planned, we will need about 180 new large cable cars of various types, including they will be needed, by the way, for the urban transport network – not only for ski resorts. As part of the tasks you have set for import substitution and achieving technological sovereignty, our manufacturers are already covering a significant part of the needs, this is good news. This, by the way, also applies to snowmobiles – according to the industry, they will need more than 200 only for ski slopes. There are artificial snowmaking systems, snowmobiling, mountain rescue equipment, and, of course, equipment – all this is in the focus of attention. The Ministry of Industry and Trade, together with the Ministry of Economic Development, continue to work on identifying needs and form an order for the industry – in order for these products to be brought to the resorts

Dmitry Chernyshenko also mentioned the large-scale exhibition-forum “Russia”, recently opened at VDNH, which in one of its pavilions represents the entire tourist potential of our regions:
At the same time, there is a separate pavilion “Feel Russia”, which is completely dedicated to travel. A very interesting pavilion: it demonstrates the entire tourist potential of our country from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka. It is very popular – every tenth guest visits it. The key idea is to give visitors a part of the impressions that they can feel like tourists visiting a particular region of our country. The direction of ski holidays, of course, winter holidays there are presented separately. In December, there will be a thematic week of tourist regions, namely the Greater Caucasus, where each of the subjects will introduce visitors to tourist recreation opportunities. At the exhibition, interestingly, you can not only see, but also immediately get advice, pick up a tourist voucher, plan your future trip, even pay for it there. You can go on a trip right from there
