Last year, Kamchatka posted 35 percent more hotel reservations, and a 30 percent uptick was recorded in the Trans-Baikal Territory; the figures for the Amur Region and Yakutia are 27 and 10 percent respectifully, according to a joint survey by the Ministry of Economic Development and the Association of Tourism Aggregators.
Itineraries combining nature hikes with rough outdoor leisure also highlight growing demand. Hotel reservations soared by 17 percent in Buryatia, by 13 percent in the Primorye Territory and by three percent in Karelia and the Murmansk Region.
