In anticipation of this holiday season Crimean tourist industry experts had hoped that during the crisis of holidaymakers will be able to draw on the peninsula of lower prices, which were formed due to the fall of the hryvnia, compared with Russia's ruble.

reason for optimism, and served as the influx of summer visitors in the May holidays. May did not bode threats. Came a lot of people, more than usual - describes the situation of tourism chief editor of the newspaper Terra Tavrika Vyacheslav Khachaturian. However, the Crimea on the course has not played, and the flow of holidaymakers were lower than projected.

also revealed a cheerless trend: the tourists arrived in the Crimea, which depend to save on holiday. Already in June has failed. In June, people have always been smaller resorts in this month were not loaded, but that many of them were half-empty - a bright indicator is the current season, - says the analyst.

According to the Ministry of resorts and tourism of the ARC, by mid-August in the Crimean health resorts rest 3,5 million people, nearly half a million fewer than the same period of 2008. Number of organized holiday was 673 thousand, 22% lower than last year. Occupancy rate by tourists, according to official figures, fell from 97.9 to 88%. Experts call these numbers too high, stressing that the accurate counting system of the Crimean resort visitors, half of which goes to the private sector, not yet. In July and August increases dramatically the amount of consumption of soft drinks, beer, etc. This year, the first time in several years, this has not happened, - drew the attention of director of marketing and information firm resorts of Crimea, Alexander Bourdon, considering this indirect evidence of a significant reduce the number of tourists on the peninsula.

Crimean resort visitors are Ukrainians, the number of holidaymakers Russia continues to soften. Minister of health resorts and tourism of Crimea Andrew Sumtsov the increase in the flow of Belarusian tourists.

Reducing

turpotoka impact on reducing holiday season, which began later than usual and has all chances to end before last year. Maximum load began later than in past years. If the tenth day of July bases were filled completely, but this year it happened in the third week of July - says Vyacheslav Khachaturian. - Peak season came in late July - early August. It is a strong failure that hit on all market participants. A significant number of bases of the seasonal placement is scheduled to close in mid-September, whereas in good years the base until the end of the month. At the same time, the influx of poor holiday season, and the reduction is not proved to be disastrous for tourism companies focused on the Crimea. Yes, they earned much less than we would like, but no one was left in the bad, nobody is going to close, - said Khachaturian.

decreased not only the number of summer visitors, has changed and tugost their purse. To us this year people are going to lower spending. Had reduced the middle class, in turn, increased flow of tourists as a fairly modest budget and with budgets above average - a seasonal Minister Andrei Sumtsov.

He predicted that by the end of the season the number of holidaymakers on the peninsula will be over 5 million mark, as in the past year, but they will leave less money. The reason, in which the demand for road travel is not reduced, experts explain the return of wealthy clients in the domestic market. People, was on vacation abroad, and accustomed to high standards of rest, went to the Crimean expensive hotels. According to Alexander Burdonova, high-level hotels were filled with an average of 80% of the number of guests last year, while the recreation center the midrange proved to half empty. At the same time it should be noted another trend - the bulk of the rich tourists spent on the peninsula weekends, often staying for 10-14 days as previously.

most rapidly in numbers nezapolnyaemost reacted owners of mini-hotels, reducing the price of accommodation up to 50% of the original amount. Many tour operators have chosen the strategy for the return of old customers, offering them options for budget accommodation. However, according to analyst publication aq.Media: Resorts and Tourism Ivan Stulova, holidaymakers could save the amount by which expected, since the prices of food, transportation, access to the beaches remained high.

not played into the hands of the resort and traditional scandals involving the security of the Crimean beaches. Employees of the Ministry of Health revealed the high content of E. coli near several beaches of the peninsula - the last time off the coast of Saki area of Crimea. There is no wand. This black PR, - says Andrew Sumtsov.

But the main drawback of the former all-union health resorts are not coliform bacteria and paid beaches, and the disparity of price and quality of rest. Most of the objects placement of the Crimea - is a park of the Soviet period. And with the hospitality of the staff there is generally a nightmare - said Burdonov.

And Alexander Bourdon, and Ivan Stulov converge in the assessment that the average Spa Visitor spent during holidays around $ 400. If the count in UAH equivalent, in the past year, he spent 20% less. Another thing is that this season of the money spent, he received fewer services, and it was shorter than the rest of last year.
