Omsk's 400-Hectare Tourist Hub Gets Official Boundaries Approved
Omsk has officially approved the boundaries of its new tourist center. The decision came during the latest meeting of the Urban Planning and Architecture Council. Mayor Sergei Shelast announced the move, marking a key step in the city's development plans.
The designated area spans over 400 hectares, covering the historic core of Omsk. It includes landmarks such as the First and Second Omsk Fortresses, the former esplanade, and several key forstadts. Nearby neighborhoods on the city's outskirts have also been incorporated into the zone.
Larisa Anatolyevna Bondarenko, head of the Tourism Office, will oversee the project's implementation. According to official announcements from the Omsk regional administration in 2025, she will lead the planning and development of the tourist center. The initiative aligns with a broader federal push to boost tourism in cities with deep historical roots.
The new status highlights Omsk's rich heritage and its growing focus on cultural and historical tourism. City officials have emphasised the importance of preserving and promoting these areas for visitors.
The approval of the tourist center's boundaries sets the stage for further development in Omsk. With Larisa Bondarenko at the helm, the project will now move into its planning and execution phases. The 400-hectare zone is expected to become a focal point for both locals and tourists in the coming years.
