The Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) reports that Russian tourists do not cancel tours to the Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory, despite bad weather and flooding of hotels, but isolated cases of early departure from resorts were noted.
Tour operators do not record a significant number of cancellations of tours due to bad weather even for the nearest dates.
“Even in Yalta, tourists continue to come and stay in hotels. Traffic along the Yalta bypass road is, albeit slow. No letters from hoteliers that tourists will not be able to accept due to bad weather, tour operators have not received. As expected, the situation with the weather on the weekend should normalize, — said in ATOR.
