Later, a tourism business cafe was created in 2005 and became a structural unit of the newly established Faculty of International Economic Relations and Tourism.
Professor V. V. Aleksandrov and Professor A. P. Golikov were at the origin of the cafeteria and faculty. The first head of the cafeteria and, in fact, its founder was the first university professor, Professor V. V. Alexandrov.
