Importance The article overviews such areas of the Russian economy as agriculture and tourism. Machine-building, energy, finance and information technologies are regarded as sectors that are attractive for investors in Russia. Before the revolution in the early 20th century, more than a half of Russia's export accounted for agriculture, with the significant and positive balance of foreign trade. So, it proves that the national agricultural sector has considerable potential, which may be effectuated with a due approach and efforts.
     Objectives The objective of the article is to evaluate a possible role and position of the tourism industry in modern Russia. For this, we performed a detailed analysis of issues and prospects of its development.
     Methods The research uses a wide spectrum of quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, and retrospective, structural, functional and systems approaches.
     Results We conclude that the Russian tourism focuses on domestic tourism, being able to overcome the crisis within a shorter period of time and boost growth in Gross Domestic Product. As one of the main reasons for low efficiency of tourism, we indicate the insufficiently developed infrastructure, many other challenges of the industry. The difficulties in the industry could be solved if there were roads of appropriate quality.
     Conclusions and Relevance To strengthen tourism in the Russian economy, the State should actively create an infrastructure (transportation infrastructure, first of all) throughout the country, rather than in the central regions only. The analysis of issues and opportunities of the Russian tourism industry may be useful to formulate investment programs for regional development.
