Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) is actively involved in developing programs and strategies for tourism growth in Russia. He spoke after a meeting with ASI Director General Svetlana Chupsheva in Gorno-Altaysk on Wednesday.

The previous day, Mishustin had chaired a meeting on tourism and hospitality in the Altai Republic. According to Mishustin, participants discussed what is needed to meet the president’s goal of raising tourism’s share in Russia’s GDP to 5%.

Mishustin also mentioned that an EAEU intergovernmental council meeting was due the next day in Cholpon-Ata, and asked Chupsheva to outline ASI projects carried out with member states of the union.
