Foreign tourists began to return to Crimea for vacation, realizing that the peninsula had become a better part of Russia and did not pose any danger to them.
Chairman of the Association of Small Hotels of Crimea Natalya Stambulnikova stated this on air on the First Sevastopol TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to her information, this year both European tourists and vacationers from other continents are coming to Crimea.
“There are a lot of foreign tourists. This is good news, because word of mouth works. For example, I have Finns living with me, and, believe it or not, from Australia. The Germans are coming, there will be an international conference in September, from all over the world. This is cool. Foreign guests are beginning to understand that the territory here is not hostile.
Many are returning who were here in the old regime times. They come back and realize that things are getting better, which makes me happy. Then they tell it in their own country and come back even more. This happened to me last year with China. Believe me, after one Chinese, a whole delegation arrived,” Stambulnikova said.
