A network of roadside hotels is being built near Moscow

Regional authorities plan to cover the entire Moscow region with a network of roadside hotels. Over the next three to four years the areas around Moscow will see a whole network of small hotels aimed at travelers with ordinary incomes. In this way, the capital's administration is trying to relieve the city of guests and give the suburbs of Moscow a "new life." It remains unclear how exactly this network of mini-hotels, apart from road transport, will be connected to the city center. The schedule of commuter trains that will transport guests from the mini-hotels to Moscow and back has not yet been approved. And the question of transport accessibility between this network of mini-hotels and Moscow will become particularly pressing only after construction is completed.

It is known that the current schedule of commuter trains that pass through the region and connect its districts with the center will not be able to fully handle the increased flow of passengers resulting from the construction of hotels near Moscow.

The authorities and the region’s residents are pinning their hopes only on changes to intercity bus schedules and the Novorossiysk–Moscow train timetable.

New hotels will spring up like mushrooms in 16 districts of the Moscow region, in other words in every municipal formation. Regional authorities have already officially notified the press of their agreement to allocate land for the construction of a network of 2-star and 3-star hotels in the Moscow district.

According to current information, it is no secret that these "inns" or hotels will appear along the Leningrad, Minsk, Simferopol and other international highways. Thanks to the location of the new hotels, their guests will be able to travel to Moscow and other cities easily by intercity buses. It should be noted that changes are planned in the bus schedules from the Northern Capital (St. Petersburg) and the number of routes increased in connection with the emerging hotel network.

However, the regional government intends to build inexpensive hotels not only near major roads outside Moscow. Small hotels accommodating 200–300 people will also be built in the centers of popular holiday areas in the Moscow region.

In addition to building these hotels, as part of a project to improve recreational areas on the outskirts of the capital, an extensive renovation of already built hotels is planned to make them fully meet the demands of the modern tourist.

Thus regional governments plan to boost tourism in the Moscow region, expand infrastructure and prepare for mass tourism. In light of the current global financial crisis, weekend getaways in the surroundings of Moscow will become the most suitable option for most Russians.
