Problems and prospects of international tourism in Russia

Currently, international tourism is a developing sector of the global economy. The growth of profits from tourism activities in the service sector, began with the onset of the XXI century. The most visited countries are European countries. Leading positions are Italy, France and Spain. Tourism in the country, which is visited by foreign tourists, is able to change in a positive way the national economy of its state.

Since 2006, Russia has gained great potential in this area, however, profits from tourism come mainly from its citizens, and only 1% came from global tourism profits. During these years, Russians took much more money from Russia to other countries than foreigners brought into our country. This is confirmed by official data of the Federal Agency for Tourism.

However, after 2006, Russia began to develop its potential and develop the tourism sector specifically for foreign citizens. Developed various programs for the development and support of foreign tourism. The most striking of these programs is the Far East and Transbaikalia, as well as the South of Russia. These projects have accelerated the pace of development of the international tourism sector in Russia.

And also began to introduce the so-called agritourism, the purpose of which is volunteer assistance in the management of farmers and other types of farms. Such an industry is progressing in the villages of Siberia, as well as in the Republic of Buryatia, Belgorod, Kaluga and Ivanovo regions. Recently, it is planned to develop the Krasnodar Territory in this direction. Abroad this kind of tourism has long been popular, especially in America.

In the current period, the most popular regions for visiting by foreigners is the capital St. Petersburg, and the cities that make up the Golden Ring, then go to such areas as Kamchatka and Baikal. Currently, work is also continuing on the development of tourism, with the attraction of foreigners in the region of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Foreigners themselves have aroused an active interest in the resorts of the Crimea, and this is due to a multitude of factors occurring in the international arena. The most visited in the Crimea are Yalta, Simferopol, Feodosiya and Evpatoria, Alushta and Alupka are considered a little less attractive, although they are just as beautiful.

In addition to the outlined prospects for international tourism in Russia, there are a number of problems in its development. One of the most important problems is the services of food and hotels, which are constantly increasing, and it becomes cheaper for a foreigner to visit other European countries. There are also weaknesses in the visa system, in the low professionalism of the employees of the tourist sphere in Russia, as well as in the poor advertising of Russian tourist destinations abroad.

However, the government of our country is continuously working on solving these problems, developing regulatory acts aimed at improving international relations in the sphere of tourism. As well as leading areas, they are actively creating training centers for the training of tourism business employees.
