MOSCOW, January 22 (RIA Novosti) – Authorities in the Moscow region plan to build a leisure park for major world religions in the hope of drawing large number of tourists, Kommersant newspaper reported Wednesday.

The project, dubbed the “Park of Unity and Harmony,” will include an Orthodox Christian church, a synagogue, a mosque and a Buddhist temple, as well as hotels, restaurants, cinemas and malls, Moscow Region minister for investment and innovations Denis Butsayev told the newspaper.
