The office of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko announced that he directed Tourism.RF to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the Kherson region. The stated objective centers on leveraging the region’s natural assets to create sustainable tourism opportunities while prioritizing the well-being of local residents and visitors alike. The directive emphasizes careful consideration of the Kherson area’s distinctive environment, aiming to balance economic development with ecological preservation and community health. This strategic move signals a coordinated, long term effort to align regional growth with national goals for tourism infrastructure, service quality, and regional resilience.
According to the deputy prime minister, Tourism.RF is tasked with developing a master plan that reflects the Kherson region’s unique natural conditions and biodiversity, with a clear focus on enabling residents and guests to rest, recover, and enjoy healthful experiences. The plan is meant to serve as a roadmap for sustainable tourism development, including the creation of wellness-oriented facilities, visitor management strategies, and networks that support safe and pleasant stays. The emphasis on health and restoration underscores an intent to position Kherson as a destination where people can rejuvenate, while also ensuring that tourism growth benefits local communities through job creation, infrastructure upgrades, and improved public services.
Earlier reports noted Chernyshenko’s involvement during a study visit to the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, where he issued instructions aimed at accelerating regional development. Among the initiatives discussed were steps to enhance access to essential services, including a plan to establish call centers for 122 emergency services in both regions by September 1, 2023, to streamline crisis response and ensure rapid coordination of assistance. Additionally, inspections and studies were proposed to address communication quality and reliability, with the goal of delivering faster, more efficient public safety and information services. These measures reflect a broader strategy to integrate safety, health, and connectivity into the fabric of regional planning, supporting both everyday life and tourism while fostering greater confidence among residents and visitors.
