“Probably no more than 5–10% can lose Crimea,” Sergey Romashkin explained.
According to tour operators, there is no panic among tourists – for example, having learned regarding the state of emergency on the railway and the possible adjustment of routes, they did not apply for the cancellation of existing tours or for help with departure, as well as with demands to cancel upcoming trips. This was reported by the travel companies Multitour, Intourist and Dolphin.
– I would say that this is a regular situation, not a sad one. There are active autotourists who do not sit still – this is not the flow that we expected, but it is, – said the chairman of the Association of Small Hotels of Crimea Natalia Stambulnikova. – Loading by hotels – at the level 50–70% depending on the object: the cheaper the object, the greater the load. That is, a more budgetary tourist went, who needs a minimum of services, just comfortable accommodation. There is always a decline at the end of August, regardless of covid or some other factors. This is a potential change of tourists – families leave, and those without children come. There is no panic, the roads are full, traffic jams, rest was, is and will be. FROM August 25 the tourist cashback program will work, this will also give a certain flow of tourists.
