Government Awards in Tourism

Background

The 2025 Government Awards in Tourism ceremony took place on 11 March 2026 at the House of the Government in Moscow. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko presented the awards on behalf of the Russian government. The event recognized 10 winning projects across 8 categories, with each laureate receiving 1 million rubles.

The ceremony formed part of the state system of recognition for work in Russia’s tourism sector. By presenting awards to projects from multiple categories, the government highlighted a range of initiatives within domestic tourism, hospitality, and related public-facing services. The involvement of a deputy prime minister also indicated that the awards were treated as part of the broader federal policy agenda rather than as a purely industry-level event.

The awards had continuing significance because they established an official record of the year’s leading tourism projects and provided financial support to the selected winners. The announcement of laureates also created a benchmark for subsequent government attention to tourism development and public recognition of successful projects. As a recurring state ceremony, the awards continued to serve as one mechanism through which Russian authorities acknowledged and promoted activity in the tourism sector.
