Youth policy, development of the creative industry and tourism in the Republic of Crimea were discussed at the RUSSIA EXPO.

Director general of ANO "Center for the Development of Cultural Initiatives", project manager of the art cluster "Tavrida" Sergei Pershin at the RUSSIA EXPO spoke about the main directions of development of the art cluster. He noted that the project, as well as the "Crimean Spring", this year turns 10 years old.

"We are peers of the "Crimean Spring": this year our project turns 10 years old, and it is really dynamically developing along with the whole peninsula. If 10 years ago it was a small rented site, today it is a whole city for young professionals of creative industries, which we are building on behalf of the President of our country together with the government of the region near the city of Sudak. Road engineering infrastructure is being developed, new projects, new opportunities are emerging not only for young creators: we are sure that if you are young or were young, you must visit Crimea, Tavrida," said Sergei Pershin.

Since 2014, Sevastopol has a huge number of opportunities for new generations, said Marina Slonchenko, deputy head of the Sevastopol Department of Youth and Sports.

"Infrastructural facilities, art spaces appear in the city. A resource center to support volunteerism has opened, which has become a point of attraction for all the young lads, for all the volunteers of Sevastopol. There is a powerful system of grant support in place. These are both grants at the level of the Sevastopol government, and training of young people for participation in grants of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs. Of course, there are various competitions aimed at identifying creative kids and career preferences of young people," said Marina Slonchenko.

According to her, volunteerism is actively developing in the city: today the number of volunteers is 47 thousand people.

Minister of Resorts and Tourism of Crimea Vadim Volchenko noted that the influence of Russia in Crimea has always been felt.

"We live in Russia, we feel ourselves Russians. This is a Russian land from the beginning, it is Russian and will always be Russian. Therefore, the influence of Russia has always existed there. No one has ever felt differently there. If we talk about the level of welfare, the level of wages, pension services, of course, all of this has increased many times over. If we talk about the level of amenities, about the issues of housing and utilities that have not been solved for decades, there is a very simple example of the urban-type settlement of Koktebel. Modern sewage treatment facilities and a network of collectors are being built there now at the same time, the embankment is being reconstructed, gas is being supplied, and roads are being repaired. You must agree that five infrastructure projects in a small village will make it very comfortable. This was impossible to imagine in Crimea before," emphasized Vadim Volchenko.

Samvel Sarukhanyan, CEO of Mriya Resort & SPA spoke about the projects being implemented in Crimea aimed at the development of the hospitality industry.

"We are in a family. A family that is Russia! When one of the family members feels bad, everyone thinks how to help them. This is what is happening in our case. We are in very close contact with government agencies, we come out with initiatives, which are regularly supported. We help unite initiatives into projects such as "Masters of Hospitality", which are proud to be under the banner "Russia - a Land of Opportunities". Projects such as the "Nationwide Union of the Hospitality Industry" are emerging. Mriya is a premium resort. For a premium resort, you have to fly through a premium airport - it has come into being, you have to drive on a premium road - it has come into being. The whole infrastructure is being created step by step," Samvel Sarukhanyan emphasized.
