Investors will be offered to develop the field of hospitality concessional

Support the initiative of the Moscow City Duma Moscow City Hall to provide benefits to investors who invest in the construction of tourist facilities. Relevant amendments will be included in the law on tourism activities. It's about reducing the income tax, land and property, as well as on the simplified approval of the construction sites, said publication.

President of the Federation of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers of Russia Igor Bukharov
says that the government should help in the preparation for the construction of infrastructure. "Businessmen are reluctant to build hotels and hotels, because the lion's share of the money invested goes to infrastructure. City can provide land, to bring communications to build new interchanges, then investors will be pulled," - he said.

Ivan Andrievskiy, First Vice-President of the All-Russian public organization "Russian Union of Engineers
" Said on this occasion:

Construction of hotels in Moscow is currently unprofitable investment. Provision of benefits - a good practice, but even she does not make an investor to build economy class hotels in which the city needs, first and foremost.

The fact is that under the current cost of construction, five-star hotels are located on the margins until 10-12 years, on condition that the hotel will be located in the center of the city. As for hotels with fewer stars, the payback period increased by 5 years if comes at all. In this world experience shows that most of the tourists prefer to use budget hotels. It is possible that the lack of affordable housing has an impact on the number of tourists in Moscow. For example, last year the Russian capital was visited by about 5 million people, which is a record number, while Prague annually visited by more than 6 million people, Berlin - 10 million, Paris - 29 million.

And while we are talking about the First Throne, in most Russian cities the situation is similar. Either the number of rooms is not enough, or the cost is too ahead of the quality of services provided. You should not ignore the fact that the center of the cities and surrounding areas were and are a lure, and very often the land is in a long-term lease. If the allocated area is located away from numerous business centers, offices and tourist sites, it 'shares' are greatly reduced due to the lack of infrastructure development. And to take care of all the costs of the infrastructure to ensure the normal operation of the hotel, the investor is not in a hurry.

Repeatedly raised the question about the professionalism of the hospitality industry, shortage of personnel. In 2010 the number of employees in full-time hospitality industry in the region amounted to 5838 people, which is 7% less than in 2007 when in the hospitality industry were involved 6283 people. Today, training for the tourism industry performed VSUES and Palo. Release of this year amounted to more than 500 young professionals. Are they all remain in the industry, where the average salary 16 - 18 thousand rubles, is not known.

Today in the Primorsky Krai area offers visitors accommodation capacity of 29840 beds. Nearly 10000 accounts for hotels, which are in the province, there are 98. Everything else is listed for camp sites and recreation centers. The average load factor of hotels is 33%, with a season of recreation and hotels in Vladivostok, in the time of the events have a 100% load.
