Under what conditions will the summer season take place in the resorts of Russia?

On May 11, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, who oversees tourism, said that the resorts of the North Caucasus, Krasnodar Krai and Crimea could open for domestic tourism in the summer, subject to a tendency to reduce the incidence of coronavirus.

And this is the first good news, because last week, against the backdrop of a global trend of exiting the coronavirus quarantine and preparing for the opening of Mediterranean resorts in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria and Croatia, Russian officials leading domestic resorts, announced the likely complete cancellation of the upcoming summer tourist season.

Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Crimea, literally stated that “The holiday season in the Crimea is unlikely to take place.”

After Putin’s statement about the need to support domestic tourism, the rhetoric of local officials began to gradually change from “everything bad-bad” and cautious optimism.

D. Chernyshenko expressed hope that Russians will show consciousness and observe self-isolation, and as soon as the epidemic declines, citizens will travel around their country.
