During the conversation with the journalist, they touched on the topic of developing domestic tourism. According to Radiy Khabirov, Russia has a unique opportunity in terms of domestic tourism, since many people, for obvious reasons, do not travel to foreign countries.
"Right now, the main thing we are doing in Bashkortostan is developing travel infrastructure. This involves creating accommodations and tourist services to provide comfortable conditions that allow people to experience unique natural sites. There is a lot of work. Every year, the tourist flow to Bashkortostan grows by 20-25 percent. Our goal is to increase the tourist flow to 3 million people," he outlined his position.
Answering a question about the republic's brand, Radiy Khabirov noted that for Bashkiria, this is, first of all, ecological tourism, ethnotourism, gastronomy, and, of course, medicine. "Our sanatoriums are among the best in the country. In addition, student tourism. Therefore, everything is quite diverse," he noted.
