According to travel agents, several popular Dagestan hotels have already sold out all the rooms for the summer. And after the explosion of the Crimean bridge, not a single hotel accommodation was booked on the peninsula for a month.
In the Russian Federation, the demand for summer vacations in Dagestan has grown, which is why there are difficulties in booking hotels in the republic. This writes “Turdom” with reference to travel agents.
The source notes that most of all the shortage of places is felt in places with a high level of service on the first line from the sea.
“We booked accommodation for the May holidays for tourists in January. And even then there were no empty rooms in the chosen hotel,” travel agent Anastasia Ron stated.
She also noted that a similar situation was observed in Dagestan last year.
The fact that holidays in the temporarily occupied Crimea ceased to be popular among Russian citizens was reported by Russian media in October last year.
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Tourism Committee Tatyana Lobach noted that after the explosion of the Kerch bridge, not a single hotel room was booked in Crimea for November.
“There is a sharp outflow of tourists. The booking rate for September was 25%, October – 5%, November – 0%,” Lobach stated.
The official also links the decline in the flow of Russian tourists with a series of explosions at military facilities on the peninsula last summer. She mentioned “pops” at air bases and airfields in Belbek and the village of Gvardeyskoye, as well as the bombing of ammunition depots in Dzhankoy.
Recall that according to the data of the Center for National Resistance on March 9, the occupying authorities of the Russian Federation in Crimea are drawing up evacuation plans for employees of their administrations and their families. A similar plan has already been formed in the occupation administration of Krasnoperekopsk, in the north of the peninsula.
On March 14, researcher Brady Afrik published satellite images showing new trenches and barriers in Crimea. He noted that the Russians stepped up the construction of defensive fortifications in the occupied territories.
We also wrote that on March 15 it became known about the cancellation of a concert at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the annexation of Crimea. The event, where Vladimir Putin usually speaks, was scheduled for March 18.
