The national “Discover your Russia” project to design conceptual tourist routes in regions of Russia began in 2021. The project includes a competition and acceleration program aimed at identifying impressive locations and entrepreneurs with the potential of attracting tourists, in order to further design conceptual tourist routes based on them.

On November 11–12, preliminary defense of projects will take place as part of the national competition. The 60 best tourist routes will compete in the course of defense. The teams present their projects, and answer questions from opponents and experts.
