NEW
CONCEPT
of the Organization of the Investment and Credit Financing
for the Top Priority Programs of Sochi Development
for the Years of 1998-2003
Sochi 7th of May, 1998
The federal program of "Social
and Economic Development of Sochi Health Resort for the Period up
to the Year of 2010" envisages the
perspectives of turning the city into a modern international
resort. But because of the instability of the Russian economy,
lack of the regular federal budget financing for the programs of
Sochi city development and due to the initiatives of the new
Russian Government to grant a considerable economic independence
to the republics, regions, etc. of the Russian Federation and
some cities, such as Sochi, certain corrections have been made in
the concept of financing of the development of Sochi and the
whole region, which concern the creation of the most favourable
investment conditions both for Russian and foreign investors in
order to attract to this area the private capital.
The main idea of the above Concept is the provision by the state
and Sochi city authorities all necessary conditions for
self-financing of the city and the whole region. The city
authorities and the Russian Government have come to the agreement
of giving to investors all possible state guaranties and
privileges instead of the old system of direct federal budget
financing of the development programs. So, in connection with the
above mentioned, there have been defined a new strategy of Sochi
development as the international resort and new intermediate
tasks.
The New Concept stipulates not the cardinal re-structuring of the
city economy and the system of its management but the
step-by-step development of this region through the investments
into self-dependent local projects, such as the construction in
Sochi of a number (10-15) of 4-star and 5-star hotel and tourist
complexes on the seashore, as well as the construction of
different culture and amusement centers; health and fitness
centers; sports facilities; a network of catering enterprises:
fast food, restaurants, night and disco bars; casino, etc.
Besides great attention will be paid to the formation of tourist
and amusement infrastructure of the winter resort in the area of
Krasnaya Polayana. For example, a joint construction (of the
Federation of mountain skiing and the Olympic Committee of
Russia) of mountain skiing sports complex with the corresponding
net of 3-star and 4-star hotels, tourist centers, mountain rests
and enterprises providing various services for tourists and
holiday-makers.
It's also envisaged to carry out all-round modernization of the
city spa centers, sanatoriums, rest homes, etc. Potential
investors - the future owners of the new property in the city,
won't face the financial problems connected with preservation and
upkeep of the obsolete city base. It's supposed that the means
for financing will be acquired through tax collection from the
operating commercial enterprises which will provide services for
the increasing number of holiday-makers and tourists. Besides,
the local authorities will grant to the investors, who will
effect the financing of new projects construction in Sochi and
develop the city infrastructure, the local tax privileges for the
whole construction period and for the period of 10 years - for
their participation in the main programs.
Some objects of the city infrastructure, low-profit commercial
enterprises, numerous resort and service enterprises,
sanatoriums, etc., which require fundamental renovation, do not
attract the attention of the investors today. So in 1998 they are
supposed to be re-organized into joint stock companies and the
controlling blocks of shares are to be sold at the auctions or
investment competitions at prices of their demand.
Due to such factors as: unique geographical location;
geopolitical and macro economical importance of Sochi to Russia;
the operating international cargo sea port in Sochi and possible
construction of new cargo sea port in Adler district of Sochi;
the international airport; strategic transit ways to
Transcaucasia; sea border with Turkey and convenient air
passages, which connect Russsia with the Mediterranean region,
the UAE, Syria, Israel, Germany, France, Italy etc.; mild
subtropical climate; curative mineral springs; Sochi National
Park and the Caucasian state preserve, etc. the
priorities of Sochi city development might be
determined as follows:
* Sochi - the summer and winter resort, curative spa complex;
* Sochi - the international tourist center in the south of
Russia;
* Sochi - the international summer and winter sports complex;
* Sochi - the sea and air gates of the south of Russia;
* Sochi - the zone of intensive farming and of production of
ecologically pure products of agriculture and subtropical
plant-growing;
* Sochi - the busines center in the south of Russia,
international zone of free trade with the elements of off-shore
and free economic zones;
* Sochi - the summer capital of Russia and the active center of
formation of international political, economic and cultural
relations.
We would like to subject for consideration of the potential
investors top priority programs of Sochi development which will
allow to start the formation of up-to-date tourist and resort
infrastructure in Sochi even in 1998 in order to include Sochi in
the international register of the most attractive world resorts
by the year of 2000.
According to the estimates of the experts on economy the required
total volume of investments into Sochi development for the period
up to the year of 2010 amounts to approx. 10 milliard USA
dollars.
By the moment all required preliminary documentation (expertises,
business plans, etc.) for a number of projects for the amount of
2,5 milliard USA dollars,
included in 15 programs, have been prepared already. Other
projects (about 120) require the corresponding preparatory work
which reasonably should be carried out together with the
investors.
