The forum took place on June 16-17 in a new hotel Radisson Rosa Khutor. The event was devoted to discussing the ‘Role of mega-events in the sustainable development of tourism’.
In 2012 the United Kingdom was visited by 227 Russian tourists. The official data for the last year has not been published yet. However, Head of Visit Britain Christopher Rodrigues says that there is every reason to believe that in 2013 there will be a significant increase in the tourist flow from Russia.
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. Despite the increasingly high demand, it is currently possible to buy a one-way ticket from Moscow to Sochi for 3,000 rubles ($85). Kayak analysts project the prices to drop even more in a few days. It is also possible to find a vacant room for the coming weekend at an affordable price.
According to tour operators, not all rooms in Sochi hotels have been occupied by fans. It is still possible to book rooms in mini-hotels and guest houses, but only in those that are removed from the main Olympic facilities.
