ROSTOV-ON-DON, September 26 - RIA Novosti. The forum "World Tourism Day on the Don", which was attended by about 300 industry representatives, was held in Rostov-on-Don, said the head of the city, Alexander Scriabin.

According to him, the tourism industry is the promotion of the city, the development of the economy, but first of all, it is the people who create impressions of Rostov. These are hoteliers, restaurateurs, tour guides, representatives of creative industries, the museum community and city services.

“At the tourism forum “World Tourism Day on the Don” I talked with workers in the hospitality industry and presented them with city awards. 300 people took part in the forum,” said Scriabin.

He noted that the city is interested in creating conditions for this work and combining the efforts of government, business and the professional community. During the panel discussion "Tourist advantages of the Rostov region and Rostov-on-Don" further steps in this direction were discussed.

“Of course, the modern tourist is changing rapidly, as representatives of the industry themselves note: the industry needs to constantly develop, monitor new requests, improve the level of service, look for fresh ideas and offer visitors new formats for exploring the city. For our part, we are trying to support the development of the industry,” said the head of the city.

He cited the example of a visitor center that opened on City Day, which operates on a one-stop-shop principle: there you can find out about excursions, choose a route, book a hotel, and find places with local cuisine. The visitor center will become a platform for collaboration between the business community and professionals, Scriabin is sure.
