"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.
