What is "turbaza"

A Turbaza is a, generally Soviet-era, Russian form of inexpensive, holiday accommodation—a tour camp or tourbase. Turbazas are commonly leased-out to groups or firms renting the entire facility to provide holiday accommodation for their members or employees. They are generally rustic, located in rural areas that offer outdoor recreation. Dining, and often sleeping, is accommodated in a large, open, common area.
