In 2024-2025, more than 1,000 representatives of farms, agricultural producers, and agritourism facilities from the Central, North Caucasian, and Southern Federal Districts have already been trained at the "School of Agrotourism." Thanks to the project, they studied the best practices for the development of rural and agrarian tourism in Russia, met with leading agritourism enterprises, and found business partners from the tourism industry.
The School of Agrotourism has become a major educational and communication platform, uniting the efforts of the state, business, science and society on the path to sustainable rural tourism.
