The popularity of auto tourism is growing in Tatarstan: experts named the main reasons.

      The car is especially convenient for family trips. In Tatarstan, auto tourism is demonstrating the highest growth rates among all tourist destinations. As Sergey Ivanov, the chairman of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Tourism, told Tatar-inform, several factors contribute to this. One of the key reasons he mentioned is the development of road infrastructure. Thanks to the construction and modernization of highways, traveling by car is becoming more convenient and comfortable. Additionally, trips using personal transport allow travelers to avoid many inconveniences associated with flights: waiting at airports, security checks, flight delays, and extra taxi costs. According to Ivanov, the car is especially convenient for family trips. In the car, one can take the necessary amount of luggage, and the trip to a neighboring region often turns out to be cheaper than buying several tickets for a plane or train. Another advantage of road trips is the greater freedom in planning the route and departure time. Tourists do not have to adjust to flight schedules and pay increased attention to timing. The head of the State Committee also noted that for some people, the fear of flying becomes an important argument. As a result, more and more Russians are choosing short trips to neighboring regions that can be easily made by car. The development of this direction is also supported by the national project "Tourism and Hospitality," aimed at increasing the accessibility, comfort, and safety of travel across Russia.
