This intention of Norilsk Nickel was announced by its Vice President for Federal and Regional Programs Andrey Grachev as part of the presentation of the company's report on the main results of work in the field of sustainable development for 2020.
According to him, the company intends to work towards the development of tourism in the zones of presence, since the assets of Norilsk Nickel are located in places that are attractive for tourists.

Of these, 81.3 billion are investments by Norilsk Nickel.
