According to the statements of the heads of Rostourism, in the summer of 2017 prices for vacations in the Crimea and the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory are expected to increase by an average of 10-20%. Will these forecasts affect tourist flows? And how can you save money during your vacation at sea in these conditions?
Indeed, statements by Rostourism officials about an increase in prices for summer vacations near the Black Sea in 2017 have been heard since March, when the head of Rostourism Oleg Safonov called these figures at the Open Crimea forum and stressed that he expects an increase in tourist flow not only from Russia, but and from abroad. Time will show how true these statements are in the context of the existing sanctions against Russia, but one thing is certain, most Russian tourists are determined to spend their holidays in the south - in the resorts of the Crimea or the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory. Are potential tourists frightened by disappointing forecasts of an increase in prices for vacations? Of course, no one likes hearing this, so more and more Russians are thinking about ways to save money.
It turns out that there are ways that will allow you to relax by the Black Sea, while saving almost twice. Tourism industry experts and many tourists who have repeatedly vacationed on the Black Sea share their experiences and give valuable advice.
First advice. Use online hotel booking systems
Today, intermediaries from tourism have been replaced by online booking systems, which every year are used by more and more tourists who organize their vacations on their own. For example, the innovative platform "krym-sochi.rf", created using the latest IT technologies. In less than a year of its existence, thousands of Russians have used its services. The secret is simple. The online booking system "krym-sochi.rf", unlike others, is narrowly aimed at domestic tourists and exclusively in the south of Russia - this time.
Secondly, with its help you can book a hotel, air or train tickets, book tickets for the Crimea-Caucasus ferry, rent a car and even organize your own excursion program. Finally, using the online booking system for tourists is absolutely free. As a result, the first and significant way to save money on organizing a vacation to the sea is to exclude any intermediaries and use the online booking system. At the same time, the earlier the booking is made, the more savings will often be.
Second advice. Choosing a resort and place of residence
It is known that there are so-called TOP resorts on the Black Sea, which are distinguished by high prices, especially during the high season. These include Sochi, Yalta and a number of other large cities. If the choice fell on them, then you can forget about saving. Unless you can save on the comfort of your stay. For those who really want to pay much less for accommodation, it is better to choose small resort villages. In them, the sea and the sun are the same, and the prices are much lower. Moreover, the rule is that the closer the chosen place of residence is to the beach, the higher the price.
As for the noisy resort entertainment, you can always take a regular bus or minibus and in a few minutes find yourself in the noise of the resort town. Regular transport runs with enviable regularity, and the distances between the resorts are simply ridiculous. The conclusion is that you should not chase after a multi-star hotel, it is better to opt for simpler options and away from noisy resort centers.
Third advice. Together - cheaper
If possible, it is better to go on vacation with a large company. Currently, many hotels, recreation centers or boarding houses rent out individual cottages, the rental of which in aggregate costs much less than if you rent several rooms. Practice shows that in this option you can pay several times less.
Fourth advice. Savings on food
By organizing your vacation in the Crimea or at the Black Sea resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, you can significantly save on food. Not in the sense that you limit yourself and your family in some way, but that you can choose a hotel with a kitchen and the ability to cook on your own. First, it's safe and home-like. And secondly, such a homemade lunch will cost significantly less than the simplest lunch in a cafe or canteen.
Fifth advice. Telephone communications
It should be noted that today almost every hotel or cafe in the resorts of the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory has free Wi-Fi, which will be a significant saving on telephone calls. /
As you can see, no forecasts of an increase in prices for summer vacations in 2017 will be able to stop the desire to relax by the sea, and even save money.
