Problems and prospects of the tourism industry development in the context of federal districts

The article considers the specifics of the development of the tourism industry in the federal districts. The problems faced by tourism in the context of the coronavirus crisis have been identified. Globally, this industry has suffered the most from the effects of the spread of COVID-19. The state had to take certain measures to restore and further develop tourism. At the same time, Russia occupies a leading position in outbound tourism and is among the top ten countries. As for the internal development of the tourism industry, it is necessary to continue working in this direction. For many years, there has been an almost complete lack of state regulation of the tourism market in Russia, as a result, large volumes of the shadow market have been identified. Many companies in the tourism sector violate tax laws. Work in this direction is underway, and laws regulating the tourism industry are being adopted. This primarily concerns protection against uncontrolled entry into the tourism market by unscrupulous firms. It is planned that the share of the tourism industry in Russia’s GDP should reach 5% in 2030, and in actual terms, the volume of the tourism market should increase from 6 trillion rubles in 2024 to 15.6 trillion rubles in 2030.
