On October 16, 2025, the Kazan Cooperative Institute will launch the "Agritourism School" educational initiative, a joint project between Rosselkhozbank and the National Union of the Hospitality Industry. Participation in the program is free for representatives of rural and agricultural tourism, as well as farmers and agricultural producers from the Volga Federal District and neighboring regions.
"Interactive participation in agricultural activities, interaction with animals, and walking and cycling tours through the countryside—all these formats contribute to the growth of tourism in the agricultural regions of Tatarstan and throughout Russia. The key to success here is the competence and professionalism of an entrepreneur capable of transforming a promising concept into a fully-fledged tourism product. It gives farmers the opportunity not only to generate additional income but also to promote their own products," comments Lyalya Kudermetova, head of the Tatarstan branch of Rosselkhozbank.
Anyone interested in participating in the project can submit applications by October 9 to utcons@bk.ru. The program coordinator is Alexey Vladimirovich Lazarev, and you can contact him at +7 (928) 256-77-76. The event will be held in the congress hall of the Kazan Cooperative Institute, located at 32 Daurskaya Street, Kazan.
