In 2022, Novgorod Region businesses may receive grants from the Federal Agency for Tourism (Rostourism) within the Tourism and Hospitality Industry National Project. Applications are to be submitted to the regional Ministry of Investment Policy.
“Federal grants are an effective instrument used to make domestic tourism more affordable, interesting and diversified. An active tourism business is key to the success of the region. This is why the regional government is supporting business initiatives. I am sure that the projects that will be implemented thanks to the grants will attract more guests to the Novgorod Region,” said Deputy Prime Minister of the Novgorod Region Yelena Kirilova.
