According to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, in 2024, route 56 has the status of NTR. To enhance competitiveness and demand, such routes include tourist attractions of various kinds – museums, craft workshops, iconic attractions united by the theme of NTR. In order to increase the tourist flow to the region as a whole, and to the NTR in particular, relevant departments (executive authorities authorized to develop tourism) are introducing financial support measures for representatives of the tourism business and municipalities.
