tourism is preparing to launch new tourism routes in Russia. We are talking about travelling by car, train and plane. From June 1 in our country opens the season, however, while in a limited format.
the Summer season — to be! The Russians in the coming months will still be able to relax and travel. However, with restrictions. First, foreign travelers are still banned. It is first and foremost about the gradual opening of the Russian resorts. Second, the exact date of the start of the season for all yet.
Clearly know one thing: from 1 June, the government allowed the opening of spas with medical license. We are talking primarily about Krasnodar.
In Sochi such institutions — 65 in total there are 40 thousand seats. Gelendzhik — the necessary documents have 23 resorts in 10 thousand seats.
the Federal tourism Agency also noted that they are already developing new directions of travel in Russia by road, rail and even Charter routes.
among them, the head of Rostourism Zarina doguzova calls a number of areas along the Volga river in the Tver region, Tatarstan, the Astrakhan oblast.
2019 year was a record year for the Russian tourism industry. If you take the summer season in the Krasnodar region rested of 10.5 million people in Crimea — 4.5 million. About the same number went to Turkey. Of course, the opening of the season this year later with restrictions, and tour operators are on record hope.
But with regard to domestic tourism, in its favor plays a closure of the borders. It can give impetus to the development of our resorts.
on the other hand, a lot of people this year can generally refuse to travel, at least from far. This, according to experts, will change the structure of the rest.
Head of the laboratory of tourism branding of the Russian state University of tourism and service, Yuri schegolkov believes that we will have a Renaissance weekend tours – tours which will go from large city to small.
“If it is Moscow, the Golden ring city of the Tula region, Kaluga region, river city,” says schegolkov.
the tourism industry one of the first to hit the list most affected by the coronavirus industries. The turnover of companies over the last two months has fallen to zero — despite the fact that in the tourism sector employ about two million people, and in the summer season this number increases to 5 million.
many regions in the rest — that is, if not the basis, then just the driver of the local economy. Tourists give jobs not only by hotels and travel agencies, but also related to the business. And this is 7 million people.
Major Russian tour operators, which operate on domestic routes, of course, to repeat the results of last year, not even hope, but optimism still retain.
Director General of the national tour operator “alean”, Vice-President of the Association of tour operators of Russia (ATOR) on domestic tourism Ilya Umansky says: they don’t expect the holiday season will break any records, but I want to get at least some result.
“If successful forecast, we will work out somewhere in the 80 percent efficiency. All will depend on how soon to open hotel complexes, because if we work out mode only resorts — tears”, — said the representative of ATOR.
Much more difficult to account for those travel companies that have focused on foreign holidays, while many popular among Russians countries (it is primarily Turkey and Greece) have already expressed a strong desire to have this season.
So, Turkey is even ready to carry our tourists Charter flights, while regular closed. However, the government stressed that the prerequisites for the restoration outbound tourist traffic yet. Well, in most of industry now rely only on year-end.
“If we talk about the field direction, the situation is much worse: the fall is 98-95 per cent, to reserve more autumn and next winter, because there is no sense that tourism will be opened from day to day,” says Executive Director of “Intourist” Sergey Tolchin.
there is Also some uncertainty about the child’s rest: the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said that he definitely planned. Of course, at our resorts. It will be organized according to special rules, but the children have to relax, said Popov.
