“The interest of entrepreneurs in participating in the development of the hospitality sector in the Arkhangelsk region is growing noticeably. The turnover of enterprises in the tourism sector in 2022 amounted to about 14 billion rubles. Over the past three years, 114 new tourist infrastructure facilities have been commissioned in the region - mainly accommodation facilities and public catering facilities. The greatest activity of investors is observed in the Arctic part of the Region, where, thanks to federal and regional support, special favorable conditions have been created to support business. Residents of the Russian Arctic are implementing 39 investment projects to create modern facilities for receiving and serving tourists with a total investment of about 1.7 billion rubles.
