At the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister outlined the main requirements that must be observed when implementing investment projects in natural areas in Buryatia.

“First of all, they are connected with the protection of Lake Baikal, with specially protected natural areas. Baikal is a special territory, the only such lake on our planet. Does it need to be set up? Of course you have to. Complexes equipped with all the necessary amenities cause less burden to nature than wild recreation, which leaves behind not very pleasant traces. Our common task is to find solutions that will preserve nature, but at the same time create conditions for the recreation of citizens. We need to find a balance between ecology and investment activity,” said Trutnev, quoted by the KRDV.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, a significant increase in demand for tourist routes within the country is currently recorded. This encourages investors to invest in the industry.

As noted in the message, in 2022 the number of tourists staying in hotels in Buryatia increased by 40%. And in January, the growth was 80% compared to the same period last year.

“The tourist flow has grown significantly, we see that the demand for Baikal is growing, the shortage of supply is colossal,” said the head of the republic, Alexei Tsydenov.
