Krasnodar region surpasses others in projected car count by 2030.
In the vast and diverse landscape of Russia, the provision of tourist accommodation varies significantly across its regions. A recent report by the Russian Union of Tourism Industry has shed light on this variation, highlighting the low provision of accommodation in Adygea.
Currently, Adygea finds itself in a disadvantaged position, with fewer rooms for accommodation than the regions of Kuban, Moscow, and the Rostov region. Moscow, in particular, boasts the highest number of rooms for accommodation in the country, second only to Kuban.
Meanwhile, the Rostov region is planning to boost its accommodation facilities, aiming to introduce 22.4 thousand new rooms, which would place it in third position. This move is expected to help bridge the gap with the leading regions.
The Krasnodar Krai, home to the region of Kuban, is another frontrunner in the race for tourist accommodation. With approximately 11 thousand hotels and hotels offering 247 thousand rooms, Kuban currently leads the country in this indicator. By 2030, Kuban plans to introduce an additional 55.5 thousand rooms for accommodation, further consolidating its position.
Moscow, not to be outdone, also aims to increase its accommodation capacity significantly, with plans to introduce 53.7 thousand new rooms by 2030, placing it in second position. Adygea, too, is looking to improve its accommodation facilities, with plans to introduce 7.6 thousand new rooms.
By 2030, Kuban is expected to have introduced significantly more rooms for accommodation than Adygea, Moscow, and the Rostov region. This expansion is driven by the region's high seasonality and growing tourist flow. By 2025, it is projected that Kuban will annually receive up to 25 million tourists.
Interestingly, the region with the lowest tourist accommodation facilities in Russia is not explicitly named in the available search results. However, it is clear that efforts are being made to address this imbalance across the country.
In addition to the focus on accommodation facilities, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has announced a preferential financing program for tourist infrastructure, with approximately 12,3 thousand numbers planned for introduction. This program is expected to contribute to the overall development of Russia's tourism industry.
The Russian Union of Tourism Industry has reported that Kuban leads the country in the number of rooms for accommodation, with Moscow following closely behind. As the industry continues to grow and evolve, it will be interesting to see how the accommodation landscape of Russia unfolds in the coming years.
