Tourism and Investment: Russia – Africa

Russia and African countries are embarking on a new round of co-operation in tourism and investment. Tourism is increasingly seen not only as a source of economic growth, but also as an instrument of deep socio-economic transformation. The most important areas of discussion are the creation of favourable political and institutional conditions, harmonisation of regulatory frameworks, development of interstate cooperation, strengthening of tourism infrastructure and introduction of sustainable practices with the active participation of local communities. All this is the basis for the formation of a solid platform for mutual investment.
