How did domestic tourism recover in 2021 to the pre-dominate level?
The number of Russians traveling around their country in 2021 reached 56 million and is 90% of the level of 2019.
Deputy head of Rostourism Grigory Prokuronov said that “According to preliminary data, by the end of 2021, the number of tourists who made trips with overnight stays in hotels in 2021 will amount to 56 million people.” Taking into account excursion tours without overnight stays, the total number exceeded 110 million people. Thus, the restoration of tourist flow to the base level of 2019 will be about 90%. At the same time, it is predicted that the tourist flow will almost double compared to the indicators of the crisis year 2020.”
In 2021, almost full recovery of employment in the tourism industry was ensured. According to Rostourism, this is 2.3 million people. In 2020, employment - 1.7 million, in 2019 - 2.5 million people.
" . It is expected that by the end of 2021, Russia will become one of the leading countries in terms of the dynamics of the industry recovery and will become almost the only country that was able to ensure the recovery of the industry turnover by an average of 80% of the pre-crisis level.
At the end of 2021, Rostourism developed a draft law on tourism, which formulated all key provisions and areas of support. Now it is undergoing interdepartmental coordination and is preparing to be submitted to the government of our country.
