Today, like never before, Crimea has found itself in the global and Russian media spotlight. Travel Russian News magazine keeps its finger on the pulse and delivers the latest news about peninsula’s tourism and the industry’s development prospects and nuances as it is ‘breaking in’ the new Russian region. In this regard, we have initiated a National poll, which was conducted by our partner Superjob.ru. We present to you the poll’s results. Will Russians go to Crimea after all?
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.

According to travel search engine Kayak, during the first week of February the number of search queries regarding the flights to the host city of 2014 Olympics has grown 15% compared to the first week of January.

It is also possible to find a vacant room for the coming weekend at an affordable price.
Travel companies report high booking rates for Sochi. Last year 3.8 million tourists spent their holidays in Sochi. The growth of the tourist flow for the spa and resort complex was 30%.
