The 32nd International Russian Travel Market OTDYH Leisure 2026 will take place in Moscow at the Timiryazev Center on September 2-4, 2026. As the only professional industry event held ahead of the winter season, OTDYH Leisure provides a platform for direct and constructive dialogue between business, government, and the end consumer. The outcome of the event is the identification of strategic priorities for the development of the Russian tourism market and the reshaping of the outbound tourism map for the upcoming season.

OTDYH Leisure is one of Russia's most influential events in the tourism sector and a focal point for those shaping the modern travel industry — professionals who view tourism not merely as a "service," but as a powerful tool for communication and transformation. This status is backed by the numbers: just last year, the exhibition brought together 14 participating countries, over 200 business program speakers, and more than 8,000 visitors. Over the course of three days, attendees explored the exhibition and had the opportunity to take part in 43 business sessions, totaling 72 hours of non-stop programming. The geographic diversity of the exposition, the thematic range of sessions across three business zones, and the scale of the audience once again confirmed that OTDYH Leisure remains the leading industry platform. As a trendsetter, the forum continues to expand its agenda each year through a multidisciplinary approach to shaping the context of discussion.

The 2026 edition of the exhibition will focus on implementing the strategic objectives set by Russian President Vladimir Putin, creating conditions for the development of outbound tourism to more complex yet experience-rich destinations within the BRICS, EAEU, and ASEAN countries, as well as navigating the ever-evolving landscape of domestic travel destinations.

Maintaining a high level of professional engagement, OTDYH Leisure annually delivers the industry's most attended business program.

The central theme proposed for OTDYH Leisure 2026 is «Tourism: field of convergence». At its core lies an industry where tourism is viewed not merely as a service, but as a communication tool that bridges the economy and a humanitarian mission. Together with invited experts, participants will discuss pressing issues and legislative initiatives, be the first to explore analytical reports and forecasts, and gain a fresh perspective on the tourism industry.
