The tourist season is closed.
The tourist season is closed.
Results and prospects.
September so, the tourist comes to the end comes to an end
Year. At this particular time tour agencies sum up and plan on
The future. It is possible to tell, that the season of 2000 has been noted
Essential increase of demand for tourist services.
It testifies that a shock from crisis of 1998
Gradually passes. The population had means for rest out of
City and personal plots. If last year many even
Constant clients of the Samara tour agencies could not allow themselves
Departure from a city this year clients have returned to the habitual
To rest kind. However, crisis consequences nevertheless were felt.
The greatest preference was given to the Russian health resorts and houses
Rest. The number of tourists for the same reason has sharply increased on
Internal excursion rounds. It has called some lifting
Internal tourism, which during the pre-crisis period, by an estimation
Experts, was in embryo. Besides,
The postcrisis syndrome has led to that people who could
To afford rest abroad in hotels of the raised
Comforts, have passed to cheaper boarding houses. However,
There was a new category of the clients, which steels to afford
More expensive rest. They are people who managed to correct the
Financial position during crisis. However this category
It is not numerous. Speaking about preferences of the Samara tourists in it
To year, it is possible to note essential increase of demand for rest in
Bulgaria. Rest cost on Gold Sand comes nearer to
Costs of similar rest at the Caucasian coast Black
The seas (Sochi, Anapa, Adler etc.). However Bulgaria is famous more
The equipped beaches and more and more increasing level of service
(Large investments of Germany into Bulgarian tourist industry) affect.
Besides, involves full absence of rudeness, which, to
To regret, still meets at the Russian serving
The personnel, and simplicity of official registration of papers on departure (with Bulgaria
At Russia the contract on a visa-free regime). But nevertheless the basic stream
Samara having a rest has gone on the south of Russia. About it speaks and
Deficiency of places for tourists at the Black Sea coast of caucasus.
Let's notice, that similar deficiency is observed for the first time for the last
Ten years. However, it does not mean, that the quantity of tourists left
On level of 80th years.
It is necessary to consider, that possibilities on them have considerably decreased
To reception. The quantity of the health resorts, available boarding houses not was reduced
Can accept that number of tourists which accepted in the Soviet
Times. Sports tourism is Still not so popular. People,
Preferring a similar kind of rest, seldom resort to services
Intermediaries. Everyone has favourite routes,
Fulfilled for years.
Beginners of sports tourism come, as a rule, to clubs,
Uniting enthusiasts. Therefore tour agencies do not give the special
Attention to this kind of rest. The leaving season has been saddened
Unavailability of some services of maintenance and transport. Not
Railwaymen that has poured out in expected such flow of tourists
Huge problem for having a rest. And at the same time
malovostrebovannym there was an air transport. It is connected with the high
The prices for air tickets and low - on railway. Journey from
Sochi to Samara was by train estimated in 450 roubles, and flight
Would manage in 2400 roubles. A number of the Moscow firms which are engaged
potokovoj sending of tourists abroad, have faced a problem
Placings of tourists on a place. Many troubles delivered
Diplomatic representative offices of some the countries, especially Italy, which not
Coped with official registration of papers. It has led to that
Fair quantity of our fellow citizens could not leave in time on
Rest abroad.
On a question on prospects of development of tourist industry next year
Experts respond rather vaguely. All depends from
Economic situation. However, if anything extraordinary not
Happens, it is possible to hope, that number of the citizens addressing in
Tour agencies, will grow.
