In suburban Zaraysk, it has been proposed that the local water tower be rebuilt to create a hotel with a Bridal Suite and café.
This is according to Jemal Surmanidze, project manager for innovations to the historical part of town, who spoke to journalists yesterday. According to him, a similar step has been taken by the authorities in the town of Zelenogradsk in the Kaliningrad region. The room rate there has been established at around one thousand rubles a day. Zaraysk is perfect for weddings, claims Surmanidze, as the town has a Kremlin. Weddings in Zaraysk will bring in a substantial income to the municipal budget.
