The Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (KRDV) told on its website about the development of a new type of tourism in the Khabarovsk Territory - "sleepy" tourism. Services for travelers who dream of getting enough sleep are offered by one of the local projects - "Zaimka Uzal". Its creators told KRDV about the features of the new format.
"Going on a tour to get some sleep is a new trend in the travel industry that focuses on the value of sleep as an essential component of quality relaxation. In addition to fatigue, lack of sleep can cause many other problems: anxiety, depression,mood swings, and even obesity. Getting enough sleep is becoming increasingly difficult for modern people: according to social polls, about 35% of respondents report that they sleep less than 7 hours a day. Therefore, the number of recreational projects in the world offering guests quality sleep as the main service is growing," - said Natalia Kravets, Assistant General Director of Zaimka Uzal, to KRDV.
The recreation center is located on the banks of the Khor mountain river, the road from Khabarovsk takes 1.5 hours by car.
As noted by KRDV, each guest house of the tourist base has a large set of pillows, heavy blankets, and bathrobes. To help guests fall asleep quickly, there are massage chairs, books, bathing in a bathhouse vat, and meditative music on smart speakers. As an addition - Far Eastern nature, clean air and silence.
This year, a restaurant and a bathhouse will appear on the recreation center. The basis of the restaurant's menu will be dishes from local wild plants according to the recipes of indigenous peoples. The bathhouse will be equipped with panoramic windows overlooking the river and forest. A double font with hot and cold water will be built next to it.
"You can add spruce branches, sea salt and herbal bags to the font to relieve stress. A bathhouse attendant, a specialist who knows everything about the art of steam treatment and bath rituals, health and energy recovery, will help guests take bath procedures according to all the rules," - said KRDV.
