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.

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.

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.
