Ukrainian vacationers helped Crimea set a new record
Since the beginning of the year, Crimea has received almost four million tourists - this is a record number of visitors for the Russian period of the peninsula.
This is stated in a message from the Crimea 24 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In total, the peninsula expects to receive six million vacationers before the end of the “velvet season,” which has not happened in the last 25 years.
“We see a significant increase in the number of tourists who are currently coming to Crimea. As of today, we can announce the exact figure - this is 4 million 368 thousand tourists, which is 28% more than in the corresponding period last year. The indicators speak for themselves, this is a lot,” said Oleg Safonov, head of the Federal Tourism Agency.
He also emphasized that this year the peninsula was visited by almost a million vacationers from Ukraine.
“Crimea is popular with our Ukrainian friends. As of today, more than 806 thousand Ukrainians have come and vacationed in Crimea. I hope they will continue to come to us in the future,” Safonov said.
