Tourist flow has increased in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District

In 2024, tourist spending in the North Caucasus increased by 17% and reached 17.4 billion rubles. This was reported by Sber analysts.

Dagestan became the leader in tourist spending with an indicator of 6.8 billion rubles. This is 14% more than in 2023. In 2nd place is the Karachay-Cherkess Republic: over 3.5 billion rubles, an increase of 17%. In 3rd place is North Ossetia: 2.8 billion rubles with a dynamic of 14%.

Dagestan also became the leader in the length of stay of tourists: on average, it is about six weeks. In Ingushetia, North Ossetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Chechnya, visitors stayed for 6-7 days, while trips to Karachay-Cherkessia were shorter.

"The North Caucasus continues to strengthen its position on the tourist map of the country - thanks to its unique nature, rich culture and warm hospitality. People come to us not just for beautiful views, but for real emotions and impressions. We see a steady growth in interest from tourists, and along with it - the development of small and medium businesses in the hospitality sector," summarized the manager of the Dagestan branch of Sberbank Evgeny Morozov.
