According to  Head of Crimea Resort Agency’s Board for Recreational Resources Natalia Sheremetyeva , this catalogue will be a kind of a calling card of the peninsula that will include all the relevant information on tourism in the region. This information will be constantly updated to reflect the latest changes in the field of resorts and recreation.
