Title:	The development of domestic tourism: the example of the Republic of Dagestan	
Abstract:	The year 2022 saw continued growth in the domestic tourism volume in Russia. Though coronavirus restrictions were lifted in most countries last year, with many international borders closed and Russian banks cut off from international payment systems, holidays abroad became rather complicated for the Russians. At the same time, according to Maya Lomidze, 2 Executive Director of the Association of Russian Tour Operators the growth rates of the domestic tour flow became lower than expected owing to the closure of some airports in the Southern Federal Okrug (the Rostov region, the Krasnodar Krai and the Crimea) and restrictions on the transit to the Kaliningrad Region. The regional authorities’ data on the number of tourist arrivals — the highest growth is observed where no transport restrictions were introduced – prove it.
