Tourism not only plays a vital role in the economic growth, but also significantly affects its image as a whole, influencing, among other things, the investment attractiveness. Today there are favorable conditions for the development of tourism in Russia. This is due to increased financial accessibility of travel, development of infrastructure and new directions for both traditional tourism and ecotourism. The attractiveness of many cities and territories is growing due to the preparation and holding of major international events: Sochi Olympics, Youth Festival, 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Experts from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs have analysed the current economic indicators in developed and developing countries and established a trend towards regional integration, conditioned by economic crisis and catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
