Fanil Agliullin took part in a meeting with entrepreneurs
Today Fanil Agliullin took part in a videoconferencing meeting with entrepreneurs developing the sphere of natural and ecological tourism in the Republic of Tatarstan - glamping, which took place on the territory of the “Best Glamp” glamping site with the participation of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.
Glamping is a new and fast growing industry in the hospitality and tourism industry. Camping of increased comfort with high service is in demand among tourists and travelers.
Glamping stands for "glamorous camping" - a combination of two English words, glamorous + camping - and is designed for people who love nature, but are not ready to part with the comfort of the city. It was for them that a new tourist format was invented - outdoor recreation combined with the benefits of civilization.
The meeting was moderated by Assistant to the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Natalia Fishman-Bekmambetova.
President of the Glamping Association of Russia, director of the Wild House company Zhanna Kira ("Glamping business: the experience of Russia and the world. Successful examples of investing in the field of natural and ecological tourism"), as well as the head of the Department of the Directorate for the development of natural areas and ecotourism of the Foundation "Institute for Urban Development of the Republic of Tatarstan" Oksana Sargina ("Goals and objectives of the development of ecological and natural tourism. Functions of the Department and non-financial measures to support entrepreneurs") expressed their wishes and suggestions for the development of a new direction for Tatarstan - natural and ecotourism.
Sergey Timonin, the manager of the tent camping "Storm", the owner of the "Green Holidays" company, shared his own experience of obtaining a land plot for recreation purposes and the bureaucratic difficulties that arose in this process. Ilnar Khamidullin, the co-founder of Urman Camp glamping, suggested discussing financial support measures from the government for such areas as engineering and road infrastructure.
In the course of communication with entrepreneurs, President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov supported and positively assessed the development of such a direction as ecotourism. According to him, today this direction is in great demand, especially since there are really many beautiful places in Tatarstan for organizing such kind of recreation as glamping.
In particular, he suggested creating a catalog of successful glamping practices both in the region and in the country as a whole.
As for solving the issues of engineering infrastructure development, according to Rustam Minnikhanov, an integrated approach is needed. He proposed to take as a basis the experience of Tatarstan's construction of access roads to horticultural associations, as well as, in general, the development of infrastructure in horticultural associations (electricity, water, solid waste disposal, etc.).
