Tours to Abkhazia: for what holiday and at what cost should travelers prepare?

The Russian-Abkhazian border opened on August 1. Certificates on the absence of coronavirus at entry will now not be required - the country has abandoned initial plans.

Following the Cabinet of the Russian FederationThe decision to open the border was made by the authoritiesAbkhazia. On August 1, Abkhazia opened its border with Russia without restrictions.

Abkhazia does not have its own airport, and tourism providers form offers based on flights to Sochi, from where tourists are delivered to the resorts by land transfer.

Tour operator "Biblio-Globus" says that to add additional aircraft is not yet intended, seats for all enough, but if necessary it is possible.

Even before the pandemic, the tour operator signed contracts with more than 200 hotels, so the volume of transportation was calculated. ALEAN Director Ilya Umansky: Demand will be high. Abkhazia will be filled immediately. Moreover, historically, this direction is cheaper than the Krasnodar Territory, and there is not enough budget product on the market.

Experts are sure that despite the fact that the decision to open the borders was made day by day, business can immediately offer services to tourists in Abkhazia: major tour operators have contracts with hotels in advance.

Igor Zhigun, managing director of the Wellness Park Hotel Gagra, said: Most of the hotels in the Abkhazian resorts can accept guests even now, someone will open from August 10.

Travel agencies fear that such a quick start to the season can lead to a decrease in the quality of service, as it happened in the Krasnodar region. Many hotels began to receive tourists without training. A similar scenario could be repeated in Abkhazia.

The consequences of a hasty start of work can compensate for the relatively low cost of rest: programs to Abkhazia for mid-August with hotel accommodation, booked with tour operators at prices from 5 thousand rubles. for seven days for two. Tour packages with air travel to Sochi - from 27 thousand rubles.

Tour operators and agents are not afraid of the outbreak of coronavirus in Abkhazia due to the influx of Russian tourists.
