Forum of Russian Regions: Tourism Infrastructure Development 2026

About the event

The Forum of Russian Regions on Tourism Infrastructure Development is scheduled for 27–28 October 2026 in Moscow at Crocus Expo. This year it is presented as a focused hotel investment track within the Owners business programme at PIR Expo. Its central subject is the set of decisions that shape the value and returns of hotel and tourism assets.

The first day is devoted to decisions facing owners of operating properties. Sessions address asset strategy, ways to improve returns and hotel reconceptualisation. The programme focuses on matters that require an owner’s direct attention: how to develop a property, which performance measures to oversee and how its concept should respond to changing market conditions.

The second day turns to investment decisions. Topics include selecting an asset or project, assessing risk, financing and capital structure, and entering new or distressed projects. These discussions are relevant to people comparing investment options, setting entry terms and considering how a project’s financial model affects the prospects of a hotel or tourism property.

The forum is intended for hotel owners, investors, developers and project initiators, owners seeking a new direction for an asset, as well as management companies and operators. It connects practical questions for each group, from choosing a region and concept to agreeing how owners and operators work together, monitor performance and take responsibility for financial results.

The forum is held as part of PIR Expo, an international hospitality industry exhibition. Visitors can combine its business sessions with a look at the hotel exhibition, meetings with solution providers and conversations with the PIR Expo professional community. This makes it possible to consider investment decisions alongside the products and services available to the hospitality market.

The forum is scheduled for 27–28 October 2026 at Crocus Expo in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow. The first day is designed for owners of operating hotel properties; the second addresses investors and developers. Visitors can choose the day that fits their project or attend both parts of the business programme.
