The mayor of Anapa told what will change in the city after the consolidation of the status of a federal resort

Anapa Mayor Svetlana Maslova explained the essence of the recent decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, which secured Anapa the status of a resort of federal importance.

According to the head of the city, this document does not give the city a new status, but legally streamlines the existing state of affairs and removes the discrepancies that have arisen among some citizens.

Maslova recalled that the federal status of the resort of Anapa has been since 1994. In 2023, the legislation on medical and recreational areas and resorts was updated, and in 2024, the government approved the List of medical and recreational territories of federal importance - Anapa also entered there.

It is noted that the new government decree was required because of the rules for establishing the boundaries of the resort of federal significance: they must correspond to the administrative and territorial boundaries of the municipality. This resolution fixed the boundaries of the resort in accordance with the boundaries of the municipality.

Maslova added that this clarification gives several practical effects. First, developers get a clear framework and rules of work. Secondly, the territories fall under special control of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Third, the city receives a priority right to participate in federal tourism development programs.

Special attention is paid to the protection of natural healing resources - mineral waters, curative mud and a favorable climate. For each such object, zones with a special legal regime are defined: there are special restrictions designed to preserve the unique natural resources of the resort, the mayor of Anapa Svetlana Maslova wrote in the MAX messenger.

According to MK on Kuban, the municipal formation of the city of Anapa officially became a federal resort in Russia. The corresponding decree of the Russian government was published on November 9 on the portal of officially published legal acts. The document was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

According to the resolution, the municipal district of the resort city of Anapa in the Krasnodar Territory with a total area of 98,186 hectares was recognized as a resort of federal importance.
