So I returned from Pereslavl-Zalessky. Left a child at grandmothers for a couple of days, and he went to the festival Pere-movement, dedicated to the development of tourism in Russia. Unfortunately, the festival I started on Friday, and I arrived only on a Saturday afternoon, so I didn’t caught nothing but drunken people and a concert where they performed my friends are from the middle group.
Although it was cool, it rained all weekend, and the festival is over, I walked around the city very well Pereslavl-Zalessky. I will tell about it later, though the sights there are quite shallow. And now I wanted talk on the topic of Russian tourism. By comparison, you know, everything somehow not very rosy—
Festival Movement
As I said, the fest ended on Saturday afternoon (although according to the plan He must be before the resurrection), and I just arrived at this time. Therefore, it remained only to eat and listen to music. Besides Other people also spoke in the middle, but I don’t know them, I don’t follow them for musical trends. So about the festival itself, almost nothing I can not say. I saw only the tents of various organizations, in most of which are people, either already collapsed or peacefully swallowed. Perhaps before that there were some seminars. interesting and maybe not.

Went into one of the tents, representing a snail farm, located nearby and where you can taste the most delicious snails (supposedly tastier than in France), and look at the snails running. Runs were also at the festival, but I was late, so I just talked a bit with representatives.
From interesting, but already curtailed – 3 houses on wheels. Of existing pavilions – you could try out on your mobile sauna, leave the ax, shoot from the crossbow, swing on swing, and make a plasticine from a character, which later With the help of a camera and a laptop, you can animate in a cartoon (master class for children). By the way, the swing cost 200 rubles, the rest I do not know. But the trampoline was free, so loved by everyone wishing, especially children. It’s a shame, but the first time I tried I really liked life, I did not think that you could be tired of jumping. Have by the way, I even managed to do somersaults will get such a thing when will be your home.

At first the plane wrote out figures, then paragliders.
And did not like the food, neither the price nor the quality. Salmon Skewers 300 rub / 100 gr, from vegetables 100 rub / 100g, plov 250 rub / 300 gr. I somehow did not immediately pay attention to the grams, so I thought the price for portion, and surprised by the final amount. A modest lunch came out at 1400 rub, and in the course I was also divorced (when I was not weighed), because, as I later did not think, I didn’t have so much came out. It will be necessary to send this photo to the organizers. festival to change their nutrition partners. And then somehow the festival is very symbolic “supports” tourism in Russia—
Here it cost 1400 rubles
Are there any prospects for tourism in Russia?
You know, the whole trip left double impressions, starting from the festival itself, ending Pereslavl-Zalessky. From one side, I was very happy to finally get somewhere, on the other hand, with civilized tourism in Russia are obvious problems. And this very noticeable. I used to travel mostly just with a tent, going cooked on a fire, that is, he was in no way tied to prices and service. BUT here, on the contrary, tasted the usual such civilized tourism format Weekend, which was previously tested only in Europe and Asia
Well, with the festival you already understood, the cost of food was not adequate, but alcohol was a mandatory attribute for arriving tourists (were and those who got drunk in wood). Sadness But okay, let’s drop it, maybe it’s all a coincidence. Better talk about not random, about prices and the availability of tourism for mere mortals.
Since it was raining, the roads were kneaded (not by car), I did not pitch a tent at the festival, as originally thought, but went to the hotel. From hotels by price / quality on the Internet advised Victoria Plaza (my review link) for 2800 rubles / day. By the way, the hotel is good, the wifi is there, everything is clean, the breakfast is simple but price … The rest of the hotels in the same price category, there is a little cheaper, there is a bit more expensive (nasty motels do not I consider).
Further, in addition to walking around the city, I went to the museum of irons for 15 minutes, in the museum of locomotives for an hour and another hour cycling in the arboretum (on the links reviews and prices). The cost of 1140 rubles for everything. I must say, the locals, though well done, are working and trying to make money instead of whining but the sights are very simple, a rant the museum Means only a small exposure. Iron Museum – 1 small room, Museum of steam locomotives – a pair of locomotives with narrow gauge and steam wagons. In addition to food at the festival, I ate another 2 times in a cafe: in Montpensier for 800 rubles and in Bamboo for 600 rubles. Nothing special, just ate no frills.
Several shelves in the room – this is a museum of irons, entrance 120 rubles
Ear for 250 rubles in a cafe Bamboo
As a result, we get the total cost per day (overnight stay + sights + 3 meals) – 6000 rub, not counting gasoline from Moscow. Before the fall of the ruble, it’s a little $ 180. Now the price is not so high in dollars, caught up, so to speak, the type of everything has fallen in price 
And if you sleep 2 Nights, eat 2 days and visit more, then you can easily and 10-15 thousand rubles to leave.
Is it a lot for Pereslavl-Zalessky? Is it a lot for Russian tourism? Tell me if you can afford ordinary a person with a salary of 40-50 thousand rubles to spend 10-15 thousand for weekends? And can he do this every weekend or every other time? In the summer, in a good way, you need to get out more often, a healthy lifestyle, healthy nation, all things. Notice, it’s not just about pricing, but also about The average salary in the country is still interconnected. And the most important The question is, who is Russian tourism intended for, at 10% of the population?
I will not specifically compare with other countries, nor to what is it, because tourism should be accessible to the average Russian, living in Russia. Otherwise, how can we talk about its development, if it is not available to the majority, or it is necessary to save for such trips. Imagine, banners by the road “Do not wait, go to Pereslavl-Zalessky on credit! “. It is funny and sad at the same time. It is not surprising that instead of Pereslavl-Zalessky, where you need to go from Moscow in traffic jams 4 hours, it is easier to go to the neighboring forest to kebabs and swell there for much smaller amount.

P.S. And I want to travel like in Russia, good places there are a lot of beautiful ones, but you understand that, either a lot of money is unjustified spend, or destined especially hiking expeditions to do with overnight stays in a tent, its food and natural attractions. And you What do you think about this?
