Strategic Priorities for the Development of Auto Tourism

Auto-tourism is rapidly developing in Russia. The government actively supports this trend and has included provisions to further develop auto-tourism in strategic documents, such as the ‘Tourism and Hospitality Industry’ national project. As part of the project, federal highways are being modernized, modern rest areas with parking lots, cafes, recreation areas, and Wi-Fi are being built, and traveller information systems are being introduced – from signs to mobile applications with interactive maps. What is the best way to plan out an interesting driving itinerary? How can we make auto-tourism even more convenient? How are the government and business working together for the benefit of auto tourists?
