According to one of them, the Russian government needs to develop and approve an action plan for the development of car tourism in the areas where the M-11 "Neva" and M-12 "Vostok" highways pass. Particular attention should be paid to organizing exits from these highways and developing adjacent highways, creating tourist attractions and forming hiking trails, including in specially protected natural areas.
