Registration for the business programme of the Let’s Travel! International Tourism Forum is now open on the event’s official website. The Forum will take place at the VDNH in Moscow on 10–14 June 2026. It is a key platform for developing and promoting Russian tourism and the development of international cooperation in the tourism industry. The Chairman of the Forum’s Organizing Committee, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko, noted that 2026 had been declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation. This is reflected in the main theme of the Let’s Travel! Forum: ‘Different Cultures – Common Values: Uniting People through Travel’. The event is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.

“The International Forum will create extensive opportunities for tourism, one of the fastest-growing sectors of our economy. I would ask our partners to take an active part in organizing this large-scale event, where we will showcase our country’s tourism opportunities for guests from Russia and other countries,” Dmitry Chernyshenko said.

The Forum will bring together representatives of government, business, and the expert community. The business programme covers strategic issues in the development of tourism – from developing competitive products to infrastructure and promotion, including international cooperation, sharing best practices, and exploring new formats of collaboration. Delegations from more than 40 countries are expected to take part.

“The number of tourist trips within Russia increased to 12 million in January and February of this year, an increase of 2.6% from the same period in 2025. We are seeing growing interest in domestic tourism, and the number of tourists arriving from abroad is also increasing.” In this context, the Let’s Travel! International Tourism Forum acquires additional relevance, and its business programme, which brings together leading industry experts, is turning into an effective practical platform – not for discussions of abstract trends, but for launching projects that shape tourism products and ensure that they continue to be promoted,” noted Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Let’s Travel! International Tourism Forum Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov.

For the first time in its history, the Forum will feature a targeted networking feature whereby participants will be able to schedule meetings through the ‘Diary’ service in their personal account. Networking managers are involved in organizing meetings in cases where requests remain unanswered, ensuring the most successful business matchmaking possible.

The Forum is demonstrating sustainable growth dynamics and strengthening its role as a communications platform for the business community. Its international presence is expanding, the number of participants and partners is increasing, and an applied agenda that focuses on the exchange of accumulated experience and attracting investments is being developed.

“Developing tourism requires a comprehensive approach, from building and improving infrastructure to the competent and technologically advanced creation and subsequent promotion of tourism products. The Let’s Travel! Forum brings all these areas together into a single agenda. This way, coordinated solutions can be developed, best practices replicated, and growth opportunities identified, thereby contributing to the country’s economic development,” Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov said.

As of the time of writing, more than 120 exhibits have been confirmed for the Forum, with participants from 80 regions of the Russian Federation, 13 foreign countries, and Forum partners, including key market players such as Yandex Travel, WB Travel, Cosmos Hotel Group, Aviasales, and Tutu, among others. The international track is being formed with the participation of African and Latin American countries, as well as with representatives from Asia, the CIS countries and other states, thus expanding the geography of the Forum.

The Let’s Travel! International Tourism Forum serves as a platform for direct dialogue and decision-making that will shape the development of tourism in Russia and around the world.
