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.
