“The event is aimed at representatives of the North Caucasian Federal District.

On July 4, experts will back up the practical part with a theoretical base. On this day, we will talk, in particular, about state support for agritourism - grants that can be received in 2023 and 2024. Legislative innovations in the field of agritourism will also be discussed.
