"These are additional forced security measures that are required now, and are quite effective if they are observed. By the way, over 70 task groups are monitoring compliance with restrictive measures in Crimea," the Head of the Ministry of Resorts noted.
According to him, the days off from October 30 to November 7 announced throughout the country are not vacations, but primarily they are needed to "break the chains of infection."
He also added that even before the week off was announced, the level of booking in the Crimean accommodation facilities was quite high. So, in hotels of the premium segment − 80%, in health resorts − about 62%, in the 4- and 3-star hotels − about 65%. And these figures have not changed significantly to date.
"Initially, 39 regions of Russia immediately responded and announced their participation in the event. In the current situation, we will restrict the forum to the online format, but all the leading industry’s speakers will take part in it. The Head of Rostourism Zarina Doguzova supported the Forum. This is a very good story, and in the future we hope to develop relations with the regions already at the spring forum,” Vadim Volchenko concluded.
