A New Tourist Resort Will Appear in the Region

During the Fourth Regional Social and Economic Forum “Territory of Development” a cooperation agreement has been signed by Alexey Ostrovsky, Governor of the Smolensk Region, and Alexey Kazakov, a farming enterprise owner, aimed to implement an investment project related to creating a tourist eco-resort called Ekaterinki in the Khislavichy District.

Worth noting is the fact that 20 guest houses have been currently built in the area. The recreation facility allows to accommodate about 120 guests at the same time.

In addition, the resort will comprise a restaurant, a conference hall (for 250 people), summer houses. Those who prefer active recreation can enjoy a modern wake park offering a wakeboard rental (wakeboarding is an extreme sport, combining water skiing, acrobatics and jumping). Besides, the investment project implies commissioning of a cheese factory and a small farm located within the territory of the eco-resort.

Construction works are to be finished in the first quarter of the nest year. The facility will involve creation of 20 new jobs and will attract tourists to the region as well as will ramp up recreation potential of the Smolensk Region.
