Tourists from the Volgograd Region do not know about the attractions located in the region. In turn, travelers from other regions of Russia come to Volgograd for only one day. This was reported by the information representative of the Tourism Committee Volgograd region Elena Potapova in Sochi, during the first regional semi-final of the competition "Masters of Hospitality".
"We have many interesting sights, but, unfortunately, few people know about them. The vast majority of tourists come to Volgograd to visit Mamayev Kurgan. As a result, no one comes to us for more than one day. Moreover, high occupancy of city hotels is observed only once a year - on May 9," she said, emphasizing that the tourist potential of both the city and the region needs serious promotion.
"The Volgograd residents themselves do not know where to go within their region. Therefore, we need to promote the region first and foremost among local residents. Now we are planning to hold an interactive exhibition, within the framework of which we will be able to reveal the entire tourist potential of the region. We have the Mars Glade, monasteries, many nature reserves. But, unfortunately, almost no one knows about this," Elena Potapova summed up.
Let us add that during the "Masters of Hospitality" competition, in addition to the knowledge and competencies of the participants, their original projects in the field of hospitality will be assessed. The best ones will receive support and will be implemented in the regions of Russia.
