Analysis of the Russian Tourism Market and River Routes:
1.
Minor Rivers
(including the "Golden Ring," Sura, and Kerzhenets)
The
Issue: Existing cruise ships have too deep a draft and
high rental costs for shallow tributaries.
The
Potential: These routes offer high ecological and
historical value but remain underdeveloped.
The
Solution: Optimal choice is lightweight, shallow-draft
houseboats (under GIMS/EMERCOM supervision).
2.
Major Waterways
(the Volga and others)
Private Segment: Stable demand for houseboats for
personal use and charter operations.
Cruise
Segment: Demand for small, high-comfort vessels with a
capacity of 25–55 passengers (similar to a touring coach).
Requirements: Must be designed according to RKO (formerly
RRR) rules for passenger vessels. |
