The Russian Government held a meeting of the organizing committee for the International Tourism Forum "Travel!" chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. Representatives of federal government agencies, the Moscow government, relevant organizations, and development institutions participated. Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee for the International Tourism Forum "Travel!", and Dmitry Vakhrukov, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, presented reports on the forum's results and plans for preparing for the 2026 edition of the forum.

"Next year, the 'Travel!' forum will be held for the sixth time. It will take place from June 10th to 14th in Moscow at VDNKh. The forum's main goal is to showcase the tourism potential of all Russian regions, the variety of available recreational activities, and develop special offers for residents. Based on a government decree, this year's forum has been granted international status. The invitation campaign has already begun. In addition to representatives from our 89 regions, we expect the participation of foreign delegations," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Following the meeting, the dates and venue for the 2026 International Tourism Forum "Travel!" were approved. The forum will take place from June 10–14 at VDNKh and, as is traditional, will coincide with Russia Day (June 12). The business program will run from June 10–12, with June 12 being Youth Day. The forum's main theme is "Hospitality Culture: Expanding Boundaries and Strengthening Ties."

"Tourism and hospitality are not just a sector of the economy, but a driver of national development. Every traveler contributes to achieving an important goal: by 2030, the number of trips within Russia should reach 140 million, and the tourism industry's share of GDP should reach 5%. Developing domestic tourism is the path to a strong economy. Through hospitality and travel, we achieve our national development goals, and the international forum 'Travel!' demonstrates how travel unites people and strengthens the country," noted Anton Kobyakov.

The key events of the 2026 International Tourism Forum "Travel!" will include a plenary session, an all-Russian conference on tourism development, a business dialogue with the Russian Minister of Economic Development, and meetings of working groups and subcommittees of the intergovernmental commissions on tourism. Additional events will include award ceremonies, meetings with international partners, and information tours. Particular attention will be paid to promoting the forum internationally, developing a program for foreign buyers, and synchronizing information tours under the national brand Discover Russia.

"The concept of the future forum is based on moving from plans to showcasing actual achievements. We're focusing on practical results: we'll showcase new tourism products and locations that have already been created and are ready to welcome guests. Our goal is not just to talk about, but to clearly demonstrate the competitiveness of the domestic tourism market. In 2026, the forum will significantly expand its scope. We'll expand not only the scope of the business program but also the physical space of the event. The "Cosmos" and "Atom" pavilions, as well as a completely renovated square, will be used, creating a large-scale business platform for showcasing the potential of Russian companies," said Dmitry Vakhrukov.

He also noted that a clear schedule for the forum's preparations has now been approved: the main theme will be determined by the end of November, and the full program architecture will be made public in December. The forum's final business program will be published no later than April 15 of next year.

The International Tourism Forum "Travel!" remains a key platform for discussing strategic issues in tourism and hospitality development, combining business, exhibition, and festival programs and promoting the tourism potential of Russia's regions domestically and internationally.

A press conference was held at TASS to summarize the 66th summer work season of the Russian Student Brigades (RSB). The event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs Yegor Litvinenko, Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov, and Head (Commander) of the Central Headquarters of the Russian Student Brigades Yaroslav Zubashchenko.

"Over the organization's long history, more than 20 million people have participated in student brigades. This is a significant figure that underscores the importance of RSOs for young people, society, and the country as a whole. Today, it is an integral part of our progress and the achievement of the national goals outlined by the head of state. Against the backdrop of a labor shortage, young people represent the country's primary labor force. 1.3 million young people will enter the labor market annually between now and 2032. Therefore, it is important for us that young people receive professional affirmation and are successful in it, and Russian Student Brigades should become the primary career guidance school for young people," commented Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this year, RSO participants worked on 49 all-Russian labor projects in Russia and internationally – in Belarus, Turkey, Egypt, India, and Bangladesh.

Thanks to the Russian Student Brigades initiative, opportunities are being created for teenagers to find employment during school breaks and weekends. Fifty thousand schoolchildren and students have already gained their first work experience.

This year, for the first time, a work project for teenagers at Russian Railways achieved nationwide status. Over 200 teenagers from 25 regions of the country joined teams to help ensure comfort for millions of passengers during the holiday season.

In Alabuga, where the nationwide project for teenagers is in its second year, a Russian record was set for employment of teenagers and construction students working within the economic zone. Over the summer, 954 teenagers from 41 regions of the country gained their first professional experience in Alabuga.

"We're currently experiencing a real battle for personnel when it comes to student brigades. Previously, students would often leave for other regions, but now governors are making a concerted effort to ensure students stay and work at facilities in their home regions," added Tatyana Golikova.

The student medical team is one of the most dynamically developing areas within the Russian student team movement, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized. During the 2025 summer season, more than 15,000 students worked as part of these teams. The All-Russian Student Medical Team "Parma" brought together over 300 medical students from Russia, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan.

On Youth Day, the largest multi-format student group space in Russia, "SO.Zdanie," opened in Arkhangelsk.

The new bridge across the Ob River and the southern bypass of Surgut has been named the "Obi Star" All-Russian student project, and the student teams' contribution to this project has been recognized by the President.

Student teams actively participate in volunteer events and humanitarian missions. This tradition continues during the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland, declared by the President. This year, an all-Russian team of the RSO Snow Landing Forces—the Victory Landing Force—was formed. More than 20,000 schoolchildren and students from across the country participated, noted Tatyana Golikova.

Student brigades maintain strong friendships with young people from Belarus. This year, the first Union State rally was held, bringing together over 100 young people from Russia and Belarus. This practice is being expanded, and next year, the number of participants is planned to increase to 200.
