Kuban Governor Veniamin Kondratyev outlined major growth plans for the region's resort industry, one of its most investment-friendly sectors.

«The spa and resort sector consistently leads the Southern Federal District in attracting capital every year. Thanks to deals signed at the 2025 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, we currently have 76 projects underway with a total investment of 865 billion rubles,» Kondratyev said. «These will create 32,000 new jobs and add 55,000 rooms in modern, comfortable hotels, sanatoriums, and children’s health resorts. We're also focusing on improving service quality and developing alternative holiday options. For instance, we plan to open a tourism cluster featuring hotels, vineyards, and an eco-park.»
