Import Substitution in the Tourism Industry: State Policy Priorities and Industry Solutions
The ‘Production of Domestic Products for the Tourism Industry’ federal project is a strategic response to the challenges of the global market’s transformation and aims to create a sustainable ecosystem of Russian tourism. By 2030, the share of localized equipment and machinery in the industry should reach 84.5% and include such key areas as ski infrastructure, amusement parks, transport logistics, and digital service management platforms. Which categories of equipment (cable cars, snow groomers, attractions) experienced the greatest shortage of domestic analogues in 2024? How should we assess the future need for specialized equipment given the growth in the domestic tourist flow? Which Russian enterprises are ready to scale up the production of ski equipment to phase out imports by 2026? What niches in shipbuilding (cruise liners, river vessels) could be taken over by domestic shipyards? How should state support measures (subsidies, preferential loans) be adapted to the specifics of tourist equipment manufacturers?Moderator
