A key tool for attracting auto tourists is the national project "Tourism and Hospitality": in 2026, more than 60 million rubles will be allocated for the installation of modern tourist navigation and the creation of a new complex for auto tourists. In 2026, more than 190,000 auto tourists visited the Nizhny Novgorod region. The Center for Strategic Developments will join the development of the "Golden Ring" brand in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

      The situation in the dairy farming industry was discussed at the anti-crisis headquarters. The state of the dairy farming industry was discussed at an operational headquarters for ensuring the sustainability of socio-economic development in the Nizhny Novgorod region, chaired by the governor. Dairy farming remains one of the priority areas of the agro-industrial complex — in terms of production volumes, the Nizhny Novgorod region ranks 11th in Russia. The agricultural sector maintains positive dynamics: agricultural production in the first quarter of 2026 amounted to 104.2% compared to the same period last year. However, the financial indicators of producers have worsened, and the cost of milk production has increased. The region is steadily growing in terms of self-sufficiency in milk, which is a direct contribution to the implementation of the national project "Technological Support for Food Security." Following the meeting of the headquarters, a list of assignments aimed at improving the efficiency of the industry was formed. These include the development of additional mechanisms for compensating costs for purchasing equipment and fertilizers, scaling up breeding work, and interaction with retail chains.
