Olga Tkacheva, Deputy General Director for Strategic Development and Marketing of the Radisson Royal Flotilla, spoke as an expert at the Eastern Economic Forum for the second time.
This year the Eastern Economic Forum was held from September 4 to 6 in Vladivostok. Due to the significant increase in tourist flow in the eastern direction, the organizers and participants of the forum faced the following questions:
- What additional support measures will help increase the investment attractiveness of the industry?
- How to expand the geography of air travel and make travel more affordable? How to intensify cruise service in the Far East?
- Does the region need five-star hotels or affordable hotel rooms?
- Is it possible to attract mass tourists not only from the Asia-Pacific region, but also from Europe?
- What is more important: unique tourist offers or mass tourism products? What are the prospects for the development of cruise tourism?
One of the participants in the discussion was Olga Tkacheva, Deputy General Director for Strategic Development and Marketing, Flotilla LLC. Olga acted as an expert on the topic: "Problems of Tourism Development", and her proposals for the formation of a base for accelerated development of the industry can be formulated in several theses:
"I am pleased that we are finally coming to a systemic approach and the creation of national projects in tourism. Of course, I would like business representatives to participate in the development of relevant documentation and events on a permanent basis, because they are the driving force in the creation of products and services," says Olga Tkacheva, Deputy General Director for Strategic Development and Marketing of the Radisson Royal Flotilla. "As for personal experience, our project has provided positive experience of development in the Moscow cluster and has gone from being part of the infrastructure of a specific Hotel to a calling card of the city. The main factor that allowed us to go this far was a properly built dialogue with the authorities."
