Situation is complicated with the Crimean destination. On the one hand, hotels and health resorts of the peninsula are ready for tourists, and Russian tourists themselves are ready and willing to go to Crimea. The only problem – the issue of carriage remains unresolved. Most Russians used to travel to Crimea by train, but now many fear using railroads due to the volatile situation in Ukraine. Russian authorities are hard at work trying to set up some safe and cheap way by which to transport tourists. The success of the tourist season in Crimea hinges on how fast this way will be found. TRN magazine spoke to a number of experts in order to get the full picture.
Starting January 1, 2014 Federal Tariff Service is going to raise prices for seats in sitting and couchette carriages by 4.2%. It was announced on a press-conference by Vladimir Kalyapin, the first deputy CEO of Federal Passenger Company (FPC), TRN correspondent reports.
