The author focuses special attention on the uniqueness of the decorative and applied arts of the republic, new formats of modular hotels, authenticity of tourist services. The author concludes that the active development of regional tourism in Russia can be a good catalyst for the socio-economic recovery of the regions and one of the most effective and promising areas for the development of the Russian economy in the context of global geopolitical and economic crises. In this regard, tourist Dagestan is especially relevant, as it is a unique center of autochthonous decorative and applied arts with a rich historical heritage and cultural artifacts, as well as a rich collection of natural and historical attractions. The Caucasus mountains and deep canyons, beaches and glaciers, villages of indigenous peoples lost in the mountains and modern resorts of the sunny region of Russia on the south sea coast have a huge recreational and natural resource for the active development of mass tourism.
