The federal government believes it is necessary to repair the old sanatoriums of 35 billion rubles. Tourists can pay. For this purpose, according to officials, it is necessary to charge each guest a resort fee of 50-100 rubles. per day. The first collection will start paying travelers who go to Altai, Krasnodar region, the Crimea and Stavropol, which will receive a total of up to 7 billion rubles. in year.
Yesterday at a meeting of the State Council Vladimir Putin has supported the idea of introducing a tourist tax. The President believes that this money should be spent on the restoration of health resort infrastructure. According to his calculations, in Russia from 1.9 thousand. Such institutions are now idle 46%, so that they once again have earned, the authorities need to 35 billion rubles. “If you do it (enter sbor.- ” b “), then very carefully, not bullying payments unnoticed by vacationers,” – said Putin. Government funding mechanism on behalf of the President should develop by March.
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov considers acceptable gathering at 50-100 rubles. The pilot areas for innovation, according to the head of Minkavkaza Lev Kuznetsov, will Altay, Krasnodar region, the Crimea and the Caucasian Mineral Waters region (Stavropol). “We expect the administration to develop a mechanism – a trust fund, which is the example of the road fund will be a closed list of areas to which funds can be spent”, – said Mr. Kuznetsov said.
Introduction to the region of resort gathering is seriously discussed in November 2015. Minkavkaza originally announced plans in such a way to bring in 2021 for the development of resorts in the Stavropol region of 2-6 billion rubles. According to the Federal Tourism Agency, the number of overnight stays in collective accommodation facilities in the Altai region was 3.5 million in 2015, if the region enters a resort fee of 100 rubles., The annual income of the budget could reach 351 million rubles. For the Krasnodar Territory, the figures are 40.8 million and 4.08 billion rubles for the Crimea -. 16.8 million and 1.7 billion rubles for the Stavropol Territory -. 8.6 million and 861 million rubles. respectively.
government initiative cheered regional authorities, but has not found support in the tourist market. “Resort gathering in European cities can be administered, when the number of tourists reached the limit, and we can talk about additional costs for depreciation, in Russia the situation is fundamentally different: from the selected regions to the limit loaded only Krasnodar region”, – points out the executive director of the Association of Russian Tour Operators Maya Lomidze.
CEO tour operator “Dolphin” Sergei Romachkin fears that the collection will affect tourists traveling on a budget, the share of which in the Crimea and the Krasnodar region reaches 50%. “Who is a bad thing: the tourists are saving every penny”, – the expert explains. He remembers a bad experience the introduction of tourist tax in the Crimea in 2013: “It was very painful, the tourists it causes negative emotions and psychological discomfort.” He predicted that the introduction of a surcharge will trigger the transition of tourists in the unregulated private sector.
