"Tourism completely disappeared": explosions in the Crimea are forced to look for safe resorts - CNN

Journalists say that more than nine years of Russian tourists in the Crimea have not worried the theme of war, as well as that their deck chair is located in the occupied territory. Now everything has changed a little. Recently, the Crimean Peninsula has been attacked from the air. On August 25, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was completely informed that 42 Ukrainian drones were allegedly tried to fly to the Crimea, causing explosions.

Also, the Crimean bridge was illegally built, through which Russian tourists went to Crimea. All these NPs will continue until the territory is again under the control of Ukraine. In this regard, Russian citizens are forced to review their plans. Svetlana, who previously worked as a manager in the travel agency, admits that because of the difficult situation with security, her activity has come to zero. She was even forced to move from Crimea to St. Petersburg.

"Recently, I went there in the hope that everything would end soon, and they would agree to stop the conflict. But I stayed for four months and realized that nothing would end in the near future," the woman says. Journalists point out that the Crimean peninsula is economically dependent on the sphere of tourism, so the authorities continue to urge the people to go there despite attacks. To do this, tour operators and hotels came up with special discounts of 30%, but that does not help.

The average number of rooms was 40%, most of them remained empty. "Tourism went. Last year tourism was less, and this year it disappeared. Last year, tourists canceled the reservation when it all started, and this year they did not even put reservations.

I was so tired of permanent military aircraft over their heads, from permanent military in The city, from the wounded, from these poor people fleeing with frightened eyes, from military equipment, which almost crushed me several times, "Svetlana continued her story. We will remind that at Cape Tarkhankut in the temporarily occupied Crimea in the morning on August 24 it was noisy. In particular, locals heard explosions.
