In the last 8 years from 2014-2022, India has received FDI inflows worth USD 9.2 billion in the hotel and tourism sector whereas India had received FDI inflows worth USD 7.2 billion from 2000-2014.  States are also actively working on policies and providing incentives and concessions to attract private investments for Homestays, MICE infrastructure, Wellness tourism, Eco tourism etc. In line with the push towards streamlining of approvals, the Ministry of Tourism is integrating with National Single Window System (NSWS) platform and reduce the number of approvals required to setup a new project in Tourism & Hospitality sector. 7 States are actively working with NSWS to provide a unified interface to identify and apply for approvals required for setting up a hotel.

Investment Gateway Summit 2024: St. Kitts and Nevis welcomes record turnout

Business corporate news.

Event concluded with a resounding impact on the nation's economy, and the CBI programme

St. Kitts and Nevis: A massive turnout of economic citizens, agents, and investors from the Middle East contributes to the success of the St. Kitts and Nevis Investment Gateway Summit 2024, organisers said in a media release.

According to them, the attendees left the twin-island Federation with five days full of connections, collaboration, and celebration starting from 10 July to 15 July. The event concluded with a resounding impact on the nation's economic landscape, and the CBI Programme.

During an interview at the Summit, an economic citizen and Citizenship by Investment (CBI) agent shared exciting insights about the industry. Responding to a wide range of questions, she noted that there are many female single applicants, as well as main female applicants increasingly choosing the path of alternative citizenship. She added that this phenomenon was not prominent until 2021. Delving into details, she added that this interest is coming substantially from the Middle East, defying all odds.

Several entrepreneurs and C-suite individuals had a successful and insightful time at the Summit. An entrepreneur, who is also a proud economic citizen of St. Kitts and Nevis, said it was his first time visiting his new home country, adding that he also brought his wife and three children along to experience the rich culture, heritage, and local cuisines. Notably, the pleasant tropical weather of St. Kitts and Nevis made things even more pleasant for the participants.

Hosted at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort , the Summit was one of a kind not only regionally, but globally. The Summit brought together global investors, but most importantly global citizens to embrace their connection with the nation that that they now call home.

The Summit had an interesting agenda with several high-level speeches, dynamic panel discussions, and exclusive networking events, all aimed at fostering collaboration and driving sustainable economic growth within the twin-island nation.

The event also allowed the investors and economic citizens to interact with the Prime Minister Honourable Dr Terrance Drew, who kickstarted the Investment Gateway Summit with the Welcome Cocktail on Wednesday night.

Another agent in the migration industry asked about what message they would like to give to those who missed the iconic event, and said, “It is their loss, they should have come,”.

The enthusiasm and excitement around the Summit have led to the anticipation for the Investment Gateway Summit 2025. Reportedly, the dates will be set later this month for the next summit at the end of April next year.

The Summit provided the ideal setting to engage with like-minded individuals, professionals and discover innovative solutions, and exchange ideas.

The Investment Gateway Summit also solidified St. Kitts and Nevis’ position as the ultimate destination for Citizenship by Investment. The event, unlike ever before, helped the potential investors, and global industry leaders to realize the potential of the Federation.

Several developers also showcased the multi-million projects through various presentations, allowing people to get an idea to understand the vast scope of St. Kitts and Nevis as the ultimate investment destination.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Keywords: Tuva, Early Iron Age, early Scythian period, Aldy-Bel culture, barrow, burial in the coffin, mummy, full genome sequencing, aDNA

This study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban growth and land use changes in Samara city, Russia from 1975 to 2015. Landsat satellite imageries of five different time periods from 1975 to 2015 were acquired and quantify the changes with the help of ArcGIS 10.1 Software. By applying classification methods to the satellite images four main types of land use were extracted: water, built-up, forest and grassland. Then, the area coverage for all the land use types at different points in time were measured and coupled with population data. The results demonstrate that, over the entire study period, population was increased from 1146 thousand people to 1244 thousand from 1975 to 1990 but later on first reduce and then increase again, now 1173 thousand population. Builtup area is also change according to population. The present study revealed an increase in built-up by 37.01% from 1975 to 1995, than reduce -88.83% till 2005 and an increase by 39.16% from 2005 to 2015, along w...

Land use/Cover Change in Russia within the context of global challenges. The paper presents the results of a research project on Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) in Russia in relations with global problems (climate change, environment and biodiversity degradation). The research was carried out at the Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University on the basis of the combination of remote sensing and in-field data of different spatial and temporal resolution. The original methodology of present-day landscape interpretation for land cover change study has been used. In Russia the major driver of land use/land cover change is agriculture. About twenty years ago the reforms of Russian agriculture were started. Agricultural lands in many regions were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulted in accelerated erosion and reduced biodiversity. Between the natural factors that shape agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. The study of long-term and short-ter...

Annals of The Association of American Geographers

Land use and land cover change is a complex process, driven by both natural and anthropogenic transformations (Fig. 1). In Russia, the major driver of land use / land cover change is agriculture. It has taken centuries of farming to create the existing spatial distribution of agricultural lands. Modernization of Russian agriculture started fifteen years ago. It has brought little change in land cover, except in the regions with marginal agriculture, where many fields were abandoned. However, in some regions, agricultural lands were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulting in accelerating erosion and reduced biodiversity. In other regions, federal support and private investments in the agricultural sector, especially those made by major oil and financial companies, has resulted in a certain land recovery. Between the natural factors that shape the agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. In the North European and most of the Asian part of the ...

In recent decades, Russia has experienced substantial transformations in agricultural land tenure. Post-Soviet reforms have shaped land distribution patterns but the impacts of these on agricultural use of land remain under-investigated. On a regional scale, there is still a knowledge gap in terms of knowing to what extent the variations in the compositions of agricultural land funds may be explained by changes in the acreage of other land categories. Using a case analysis of 82 of Russia’s territories from 2010 to 2018, the authors attempted to study the structural variations by picturing the compositions of regional land funds and mapping agricultural land distributions based on ranking “land activity”. Correlation analysis of centered log-ratio transformed compositional data revealed that in agriculture-oriented regions, the proportion of cropland was depressed by agriculture-to-urban and agriculture-to-industry land loss. In urbanized territories, the compositions of agricultura...

Despite harsh climate, agriculture on the northern margins of Russia still remains the backbone of food security. Historically, in both regions studied in this article – the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – agricultural activities as dairy farming and even cropping were well adapted to local conditions including traditional activities such as horse breeding typical for Yakutia. Using three different sources of information – official statistics, expert interviews, and field observations – allowed us to draw a conclusion that there are both similarities and differences in agricultural development and land use of these two studied regions. The differences arise from agro-climate conditions, settlement history, specialization, and spatial pattern of economy. In both regions, farming is concentrated within the areas with most suitable natural conditions. Yet, even there, agricultural land use is shrinking, especially in Karelia. Both regions are prone to being af...
