Tourism Master Plan for the Republic of Khakassia — Unlocking Development Potential

The tourism master plan creates a structured framework for unlocking the region’s development potential. It enables a comprehensive assessment of tourism assets, defines priority tourism segments, and aligns infrastructure development with demand. The document sets the direction for integrated development — from determining optimal accommodation capacity to structuring investment-ready projects and strengthening the region’s unique identity.

Objective

The project aims to develop a conceptual tourism master plan for the Republic of Khakassia, designed to accelerate the growth of the tourism sector through 2030 and beyond.

Key tasks

• Diagnose the current state of the tourism sector and assess its contribution to regional development — identifying key opportunities and constraints
• Define the structure and boundaries of core tourism clusters across the republic
• Develop a portfolio of priority investment projects within these clusters — including key parameters and justification based on socio-economic impact and strategic relevance
• Identify the most attractive land plots for investment within priority clusters
• Create a clear implementation roadmap

Socio-economic impact

• For tourists — broader travel opportunities, improved comfort, and a well-distributed, high-quality infrastructure
• For residents — job creation, income growth, and an improved urban environment
• For businesses — increased market transparency, growing demand, and access to state-supported investment opportunities
• For regional budgets — additional revenue streams

Phase 1 — Baseline analysis and territorial assessment

• Collection of baseline data and analysis of current conditions and approved development plans
• Initial site visits and engagement with regional executive authorities
• Expert consultations via online sessions
• Strategic on-site session to assess development potential and align with regional stakeholders

Phase 2 — Master plan development

• Development of the tourism master plan, including key initiatives and strategic directions
• Ongoing expert consultations
• Online presentation of the master plan and a comprehensive implementation framework

Implementation outcomes and outlook

The master plan includes 75 investment projects, seven of which are fully developed — with detailed financial models, investment structures, and marketing strategies.

• Total investment volume — RUB 55 billion
• Total budget effect — RUB 18 billion
• Employment impact — 3,900 direct and indirect jobs
• Annual tax revenues — RUB 2.3 billion

The document covers seven tourism territories:

• Established clusters — Shirinskye Lakes, Priiskovoye village, Karlov Stvor
• Emerging clusters — Heart of Khakassia, Yenisei Gate, Podnebesye, Gorny

For each territory, flagship clusters and key infrastructure facilities are defined — from cultural centers and thermal complexes to sports and tourism hubs on redeveloped industrial sites.

Head of the Republic of Khakassia Valentin Konovalov emphasized that the master plan creates a foundation for sustainable growth and strengthens the region’s tourism positioning.

As a result, a detailed implementation roadmap has been developed, covering:

• Design and planning stages
• Investor engagement
• Access to federal co-financing
• Marketing and promotion

The master plan positions Khakassia for a new phase of urban transformation and tourism-driven growth — enhancing accessibility, diversifying the visitor experience, and ensuring long-term socio-economic development.
