Universiade 2013 had given a serious impetus to the Tatastan and Kazan’s tourist infrastructure, he went on to report. Over 150 thousand tourists from 170 countries had visited Kazan during the sporting event in Kazan.

“Possibly, we will receive some proposals from our counterparts and forum’s participants,” said prime minister.

Federal Agency for Tourism deputy chief, Dmitry Amutz, said there was a preliminary agreement with Tatarstan authorities to before the year’s end sign a detailed cooperation agreement. Applying pilot approaches to implementing new information technologies in the field of tourism is its core. Another area for cooperation was attracting off-budgetary funds within public private partnership.
