Reshetnikov suggested an increase in the tourist flow in Russia to 48 million trips in the summer of 2025

In the coming summer season, the tourist flow in Russia is expected to reach 48 million trips, which is 3.6 million more than last year. This was announced on April 11 by the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov.

"We expect high demand for travel from May to September, we forecast 48 million tourist trips. According to our estimates, half of the new trips will go to the most popular tourist destinations," he said at a meeting of the government commission for tourism development.

The minister specified that a significant increase in hotel bookings was recorded in Buryatia, Crimea, Altai Territory, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Dagestan and Bashkiria.

The Ministry of Economic Development has already transmitted all this data to the Ministry of Transport, so that they can adjust the schedule for the summer and adjust the work of airlines, railways and airplanes to the most popular destinations. If possible, it is recommended to launch additional trains by rail, he added.

Start small: the number of state-supported tourism SMEs has doubled

Restaurants, cafes and hotels attracted the most funding.

On April 4, Albina Khisamova, the organizer of author's travel, the owner of Aloha travel, told Izvestia that traveling in a group is cheaper due to discounts on excursions, meals and transfers. In addition, in this case, an interpreter is more often available to tourists, and the organizer takes over all the difficulties with the documents.
