Travelers from Nizhny Novgorod are bringing along their beloved pets for their vacations
In the vibrant city of Nizhny Novgorod, pet owners are finding more options to travel with their furry companions, as the region ranks among the top 10 in Russia for pet-active travel[1]. This growing trend is reflected in the increasing number of hotels and restaurants that are positioning themselves as pet-friendly[2].
According to a joint study by analysts from Avito Travel and MegaFon, Nizhny Novgorod residents aged 35-44 have a strong interest in accommodation that allows pets, making up 40% of this audience[4]. This demographic is most likely to book pet-friendly accommodations for three days, with a group size of three[5].
The average cost of accommodation with pets in Nizhny Novgorod is 4500 rubles per night[6]. However, for country houses, the cost is slightly higher at 8100 rubles per night[7]. To cater to this growing demand, MegaFon is expanding its network and launching new base stations in various locations in the Nizhny Novgorod region to ensure customers can comfortably plan their vacation[8].
In addition to accommodations, MegaFon is also offering services for pet owners. For instance, in their salons, you can purchase an extra SIM card for pets with trackers and monitoring sensors[9].
The trend of pet-friendly travel is not limited to Nizhny Novgorod. Nationwide, bookings for daily rentals that allow pets increased by 42% year-over-year in July, and for country houses by 91%[10]. This surge in demand is evident on the websites of the largest pet stores in Nizhny Novgorod, where traffic has increased by 30% since early August compared to July[11].
Nizhny Novgorod residents are not only keeping up with this trend but are also leading it. The city ranks 8th in the demand for pet-friendly accommodations, ahead of pet lovers from Samara and Rostov-on-Don[12]. This growing acceptance and popularity of traveling with pets in Nizhny Novgorod are indicative of a broader shift in attitudes towards pet ownership and travel.
As the pet-friendly travel market continues to grow, it's likely that we'll see more hotels and accommodations adopting pet-friendly policies and amenities. Potential events, such as exhibitions where the tourism and pet industry sectors may align, could further drive this growth and networking in pet-friendly services[3].
