Hotels slash costs and raise wages with federal productivity push
Hotels and resorts across the region are cutting costs and boosting efficiency with help from productivity experts. The changes come as part of the Labor Productivity federal project, now integrated into the national Efficient and Competitive Economy initiative. Businesses report faster operations, higher output, and wage increases for staff. The City of Peace Hotel, managed by Miracleon, has slashed room preparation times by more than a third. This improvement raised output by 53% and delivered an annual economic benefit of 5.5 million rubles. The company has also committed to a 10% wage rise for employees, effective from May 1, 2026, as part of its sustainable development plan.
At the *SEA GALAXY Hotel Congress & SPA*, engineering services are being optimised to speed up room readiness for guests. Meanwhile, *Nadezhda SPA & Sea Paradise Resort* overhauled its laundry workflows with expert guidance, achieving an 87% increase in staff productivity. Specialists from the Regional Competence Center (RCC) are assisting teams in adopting lean management techniques and refining logistics. Three hotels under the Rosa Khutor brand—*Hotel 28*, *Riders Lodge*, and *Philosophy of the Mountains*—are among 41 tourism businesses now using modern productivity tools. The *Labor Productivity* project, running since 2025, continues to support enterprises in improving efficiency. More information on participation is available at [produktivnost.ru](https://производительность.рф).
The push for efficiency has led to faster services, higher staff wages, and significant cost savings for participating businesses. With 41 resorts and hotels already implementing changes, the project’s impact on the region’s tourism sector is growing. Further details and support remain accessible through the federal programme’s official platform.
