Crimea preparing for the season

The Ministry of resorts and tourism of the Republic of Crimea expects that in 2015 on the peninsula rest 4.3 million people, ie 15 percent more than the year before.

By and large, everything comes down to certain difficulties with the arrival of the Crimea, and what was stated by Minister of Resorts and Tourism of the Republic Olga Burov. According to her, the peninsula can take as many travelers as transporters can carry. And they, in turn, is no bridge to the mainland, are doing their best.

At the moment we know that the airport Simferopol plans to significantly increase the volume of traffic. Last year he served 30 straight direction, then this will be added to them 15. Also in 2015, planned to increase the power of the Kerch ferry.

The forecast for 2016 is even more optimistic - is expected to increase tourist traffic by 20 percent, and further, as stated by Olga Burov, "progressive." Such an assessment, apparently, is based on the possibility of opening on the peninsula of another air harbor.

Interestingly, after the reunification of the Crimea with Russia there was a qualitative change in the flow of tourists in this area. If in 2013, 80 percent of tourists stayed in private accommodation facilities and only 20 percent - in the collective, that in 2014 there was a real revolution - the numbers reversed, that is good news, because it means so much output sectors of the economy out of the shadows. On the other hand, the collapse of the popularity of the private sector has deprived many Crimean stable income.


According to official statistics currently operates in the Crimea 770 collective accommodation facilities - hotels, camping sites, motels - capacity of more than 155,000 beds, as well as about 4,500 small and individual accommodation facilities. The cost of holidays at the end of last summer was 2300 rubles per day per person in a standard double room. Curiously, in health centers, which offer treatments and therapies, the average cost of living is lower - about 1700 rubles per day. When calculating the cost of recreation for children in summer camps need to focus on the average value of 960 rubles per person per day. Thus, ten vacation that includes airfare, hotel shuttle and excursion service can do this summer you relax (even with the price increase at the inflation rate) in 35 - 40 thousand rubles.
