Tourism experts say that if hoteliers and restaurateurs do not curb their financial appetites, Crimea could lose its tourist appeal. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
One of the conditions for the possible “collapse” of the holiday season on the peninsula, the head of the interregional public organization “Association of Small Hotels” Natalia Stambulnikova called unreasonable planning of pricing policy among industry in the country.
“The most worrying is the thoughtless and unjustified rise in prices by hoteliers,” said the expert.
Another problem, in her opinion, is the lack of qualified personnel. The words of the colleague were confirmed by the vice-president of the Association of tour operators of Russia Dmitry Gorin.
There are not enough four and five star hotels on the island. The expert stressed that the number of five-star hotels on the peninsula does not exceed 20, while in the Krasnodar Territory there are already 45. In addition, international tourism will be actively restored in the new season.
“The number of open international destinations has quadrupled compared to 2020. There are Egypt, Turkey, UAE, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico and many other countries. In addition, competition between the regions of the country is increasing, “he said.
