The expert workshop’s goal is to propose recommendations for developing the Yaroslavia Town Centers Tourism Cluster. The event was initiated by the Government of Yaroslavl Oblast and will be directed by the Agency for Strategic Development CENTER. 

Date: July 23 and 24, 2019

The Yaroslavia Town Centers is a tourism brand first presented by Yaroslavl Oblast in 2018. This cluster includes 12 historical towns: Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov, Lyubim, Myshkin, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Poshekhonye, Rostov Veliky, Rybinsk, Tutayev, Uglich, Yaroslavl, and Mologa. This brand is highly relevant to the social and economic development goals of Yaroslavl Oblast.

The expert workshop is to involve representatives of: the Oblast’s municipalities (municipality heads and deputy heads; experts that curate tourism, architecture, urban planning, economy, and investments areas), local executive authorities, investors, and expert teams.

The tasks set for the workshop are:

• to make proposals on creating a unified tourist route;
• to design urban tourism development areas, depending on the potential and functional features of each respective town;
• to form a list of facilities/projects for every town, based on their importance as tourism landmarks, an expert evaluation of their practical viability, their social and economic impact, and a rough cost estimate;
• to prepare recommendations regarding a list of facilities (projects) that could become separate investment proposals within a shared concept;
• to single out “systemic” facilities and sites that meet the criteria of federal target programs and other funding sources required to execute the respective projects.
