Implementation of the project

In the course of the project the Assembly holds round tables, discussion platforms and working meetings on the development of promising areas of international tourism. Annual participation in international forums, congresses, panels, exhibitions and business missions of the CIS and other countries makes it possible to summarise their experience and pass it on to interested participants, partners and members of the Assembly.

Educational platforms and competitions based at national and international public, scientific and educational organisations and at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation make it possible to adopt evidence-based proposals for the development of tourism and tourism activities.
