Russia Cuts Domestic Tourism Forecast to 90M Trips on Black Sea Weakness

Russia's Ministry of Economic Development lowered its 2026 domestic tourism forecast from 94 million to 90 million trips, citing a weaker season at Black Sea resorts. The revision signals a modest downgrade in consumer services activity, though early-year growth of 7% suggests resilience. The impact is limited to Russia's domestic economy and is not a major macro shift.
