Restaurant business in St. Petersburg during the period of sanctions
The hotel and restaurant business are an integral part of the development of the economy of the Russian Federation, since its condition affects the development of the country's tourism sector as a whole and other key sector of the economy: transport, construction, communications, trade, etc. In recent years, the hotel and restaurant business in the Russian Federation has been characterized by dynamic development (compared to the state of the hotel and restaurant business in 2014-2015 in connection with the first package of sanctions) and, through service activities, contributed to the formation of a recreational and cultural environment, ensuring economic development countries. However, since 2014, as a result of constant packages of sanctions related to the inclusion of Crimea, and in 2022 with a special operation in Ukraine, it has become a tangible blow to the hotel and restaurant business in Russia and St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg and Russia as a whole, there is a lack of consistency in state support. An important aspect during the period of sanctions was the establishment of close cooperation between state authorities and local governments and restaurant business entities to develop organizational and economic measures to overcome the negative economic consequences of the sanctions policy and promote the development of their entrepreneurial activities. To this end, it remains expedient to further in-depth study of the cornerstone issues in this area.
