Andrey Yumshanov, CEO of Kavkaz.RF, spoke at the plenary session of the FTT forum.
During the plenary session of the Forum of Tourist Territories (FTT) — titled "Hospitable Russia: New Territories, Routes, and Markets — Opportunities for Business and Investment" — Kavkaz.RF CEO Andrey Yumshanov presented his perspective on development trends within the Russian tourism sector.
The speaker noted that previous years saw significant growth in tourist traffic, driven by the expansion of domestic tourism, the emergence of new travel destinations, and the impact of the pandemic and sanctions-related restrictions, which shifted demand toward travel within the country. At the same time, the current slowdown in the growth rate of tourist traffic is viewed as a new challenge for the industry.
