TURKISH FORCEMEAT. (CH. 1).
JULIA ROSHEK.
Actually the martial law in territory of Turkey does not frighten
The Russian tourists - in a rating of popularity of the countries on
Forthcoming summer season experts put Turkey on the first
Place in view of unknown cheapness. In the meantime the governments
The European states have already warned the citizens that
Trips on Turkish coast are interfaced to risk.
Rest as luxury.
Good rest - the privilege of people steadily well-founded. And
Therefore mass tourism at any crisis is reduced in the first
Turn. That, actually, our present position also confirms.
The research spent by information service of BANQUO on
The basis of interrogation of heads of 617 tour agencies, has shown, that the sharp
Falling of incomes has already resulted in an osenne-winter season of 1998-1999
To falling of sale of foreign rounds on the average on 36,6 %.
Thus mass tourism has most of all suffered, certainly.
So, in comparison with winter 1997/1998 on 40,4 % the stream has decreased
Tourists to Thailand, on 32 % - to Egypt, on 43,6 % - to Czechia and on
39,9 % - to Spain, including Canary Islands.
The number of the sold rounds in the countries was to a lesser degree reduced,
Where and before crisis the stream of our tourists was rather insignificant.
For example, wishing to admire a statue of Freedom in this winter on
To comparison with an osenne-winter season 1997/1998 became less on
27,7 %, and visited England - on 25,5 %.
The number of tour agencies was reduced also. According to BANQUO'S service, to
The end of the last winter season have not lived 13 % of agencies.
By estimations of tour operators, on number leaving in
Foreign rounds Russia has appeared is rejected on three years ago. With
That only a difference, that in 1995-1996 a stream "ruso turisto"
Steadily dews, and now it is so steadily reduced. And even
Shy hopes of situation improvement to state nobody
Dares.
However, for those who is compelled to save, tour operators search and
Find possibilities of decrease in the cost price of rounds.
So, if last year standard round to Spain
It (kosta-is gallant) assumed hotel in four stars (with a half board)
Also cost about $1050 for seven days, this year actually
The standard set has changed: the hotel henceforth is offered on one
Asterisk more low, that is already three-stars - from here and falling
The prices of round to $450.
The low price of rounds occurrence of Egypt in a rating speaks also
The most popular "summer" countries. Earlier it was in demand
At the Russian tourists exclusively during the osenne-winter period. That,
However, it is quite clear: in the summer in the country of pyramids there is an intolerable
Heat. But tour operators, apparently, count, what is it not
Will reduce appeal of Egypt provided that the week
Trip here for May holidays with residing in
Four-stars hotel costs only $500.
To us the Kurdish wolf is not terrible.
The most popular direction in this summer, in opinion
Experts, still Turkey. That, at first sight,
Surprisingly, after all interrogation among the Moscow tour agencies BANQUO'S service
Spent already after Kurdish extremists have declared about
The intention by any ways, including acts of terrorism,
To equate a life of the tourist in Turkey to a broken penny.
And nevertheless, really having approached to solvency of the
Clients, the Moscow travel agencies have left beyond Turkey
The first place. According to professionals, cheapness of the standard
Rounds in this country compensates fear to appear in epicentre
Disorders. Wishing to pay for a week trip with settlement
In three-stars hotel of $250 instead of $400 will be enough.
Similar reduction of prices speaks very simply. Considerable -
To third - the part of visitors is made here by Germans.
After passed in the end of February - the beginning of March international
Tourist exhibition it became clear, that Germans in this summer in Turkey
Will be much less or will not be absolutely. At an exhibition to the Turkish
To pavilion even were afraid to approach: unknown persons constantly informed
About the bombs enclosed in pavilion. It has led to volume, that German
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended to the compatriots not to have a rest this year
On Turkish resorts. After Germans with the similar
As recommendations the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Austria and England have acted.
Our authorities of similar care of the citizens yet
Have shown. However consequences of "timidity" of Europeans can
To affect and Russians. After all in case of need
To evacuate tourists from Turkey neither German, nor Austrian,
English planes will not be: after the official prevention
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs citizens of these countries can not count on the help of the
The governments. Well and our authorities about the citizens and at all never
Cares did not show, so the Russian citizens usually
Were evacuated by planes of other countries.
Choice of Russia.
For the first time in a rating of the most popular directions
Is present... Russia. And our country has occupied at once
Honourable third place.
Business in the rouble prices for rounds which grow in the price much
More slowly a dollar exchange rate: today day of residing in the single
"Junior suite" in hotel of level of 2-3 stars (and such in Sochi
The majority) costs 350-500 roubles. Already now, according to
Tour agencies, in the Sochi sanatoria it is sold from 85 % to 95 % of places on
Forthcoming season.
However, cheapness of Sochi is quite explainable. Hotels
European and even the Asian level here practically is not present.
Exception - "Redisson-azure" where there is an own
Well-groomed beach, the fitness centre, two pools, a worthy food.
However, also there is this pleasure nedeshevo: residing in
Single room with a half board manages here on the average in
$70. One more elite boarding house - "Russia" - belongs
To administrative office of the president, and the permit there on free sale
Actually are absent.
Other Sochi "hotels", even were inturistovskaja
"Pearl", to the European level nedotjagivajut. And "PEAK-HOTEL",
Though responds the most exacting inquiries, it is located too
Far from the sea - in mountains.
So the main Russian resort to replace foreign in full
To measure cannot.
As to another "an all-Union health resort" - Crimea,
The Moscow tour agencies look at its prospects in this season
Pessimistically. For today here contrary to usage big FOR
IMPOSITIONS: to EMPHASIZE ON the LETTER "About" In the WORD the MOST PART
Permits it is not sold. Tour agencies cannot forget the frank
Greed of the Ukrainian colleagues, which at once after 17
August, 1998 have demanded immediate surcharge for
The rendered services (journey and residing) in connection with the sharp
Rouble falling.
Besides Crimea, even in comparison with Sochi, frightens the visitors
Ideally saved Soviet service. Absence is not simple
Hot, and any water here even in coastal hotels is
Almost norm (an exception make were inturistovskie
Hotels like "Yalta" where hot water is always).
