The main reason that deters tourists, expensive prices for food and accommodation.
The occupation authorities of the Crimea, says that Ukraine allegedly creates additional difficulties for tourists who are traveling on vacation from the mainland on the annexed Peninsula.
According to the Russian edition “RIA Novosti” with reference to the so-called “head of the Crimean government Committee on inter-ethnic relations” Zaur Smirnov, Ukraine allegedly began “travel blockade” of the annexed Crimea.
Russian border guards claim that the Ukrainians lined up in kilometer queue to get on holiday and spend hours waiting to pass to the annexed Crimea.
Smirnov maintains that these attempts by Ukraine to disrupt the tourist season in the occupied Peninsula have not worked.
“The attempt to make Crimea a tourist blockade drowned in a mass flow of Ukrainian citizens, who in spite of some propaganda, and a long queue had not changed his desire to visit the Crimea. The Kiev authorities feared the outrage of its own citizens and social revolt on the Ukrainian checkpoints,” the statement reads.
According to official information, before the annexation of the Crimea was attended by about 4.5 million Ukrainians from the mainland in 2017 came to rest just 200 thousand. The Russians annexed Crimea in no hurry. Like ten years ago, and now here comes less than two million tourists from Russia.
The main reason that deters tourists, expensive prices for food and accommodation. For comparison, hotel prices in annexed Crimea are almost identical with prices in Turkey all inclusive.
