The Ministry of Economy has sent a document to the government that provides for the synchronization of the development of tourist routes with the plans of road workers, as well as benefits for companies to create infrastructure for car tourists. Representatives of the tourism industry have already supported the initiative, citing the improvement of camping conditions as a key area.
As Kommersant reports, Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economy Dmitry Vakhrukov said that car tourism in Russia is now developing “chaotic and fragmentary.” “There are separate programs for the rehabilitation and construction of roads and gas stations, but they are virtually not tied to tourist attractions. Roadside hotels are generally built in the interests of truck drivers and in places where there is the most traffic,” the official complains.
The task of the concept for the development of car tourism will be precisely the synchronization of all these processes. According to the ministry, 22 to 23 million motorcycle tourists travel on Russian roads every year, and their potential number could reach 42 million people.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko predicted that the development of the area could bring the tourism sector an additional 250 billion rubles per year, so it was decided to take car tourism seriously. Especially when you consider that, according to VTsIOM, 26% of travelers are dissatisfied with the quality of roadside assistance: there are not enough gas stations, parking spaces, toilets and motels along the highways.
