"2011 saw increased investment
in the city’s hospitality segment which
resulted in an all-time high number of
investment deals closed during the year
and start of new and restart of stalled
hotel development projects. We have to
emphasize the role played by the Moscow
Government in achieving this result.
As part of a non-core assets
privatizationprogram, several city’s
landmark hotels were sold, including
Moskva and National. In addition, a
number of bills were initiated to promote
the development of the city’s
hospitality sector."
