The State Duma of the Russian Federation will hold a round table on attracting public-private partnership (PPP) tools for representatives of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) for the implementation of the infrastructure of tourism projects on July 23 in the House of Unions. The corresponding appeal was at the disposal of Izvestia.

The initiative will be discussed by the State Duma Committee on Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises together with the Committee of the lower house of parliament on tourism and tourism infrastructure development.

"The tourism sector, of course, is still a growth point that needs to be developed. But at the same time, today the number of projects is growing every year," Natalia Poluyanova, a member of the State Duma Committee on Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, told Izvestia.

For example, in 2023, relevant contracts were concluded for more than 1 trillion rubles, and there were more than 300 trillion rubles worth of major agreements fulfilled, the deputy said. More than 60% of the public-private partnership is private investment, Poluyanova said.

The "round table" will be devoted to the mechanisms that are now needed in order to become the existing growth point of actual agreements on public-private partnerships... Previously, there was no such regulation," she said.
