Abstract:

The thesis investigates the development of the tourism sector in the Russian Federation's major resort city - Sochi. The author investigates the key theoretical aspects related to the tourism and hospitality sector, analyzes the effects which the organization of Olympic Games has for host countries in economic and social terms, and regards in detail the development of the tourist industry in Sochi. The evaluation of the expenses made by the Russian authorities for hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the analysis of the first financial results after the Olympic Games allows drawing conclusions with regard to the city's prospects for becoming a major tourist destination on the international scale. Based on the analysis of Sochi's tourist industry's strategic advantages and drawbacks and of the current geopolitical situation in the Russian Federation, the author develops forecasts with regard to further development of tourism in Sochi.
