The noise veil can become a serious obstacle for development
The noise veil can become a serious obstacle for development
Tourist industry.
In Petersburg there has passed annual meeting of National academy
Tourism in which scientists and experts have taken part
Tourist branch from various regions of the country. In
Performances prompt development in new was marked
Economic conditions of sphere of tourism.
Petersburg is included into first ten the most attractive for
Foreign visitors of megacities of the world. However, in comparison with
Capitals of the European states, northern capital still remains
City of not used possibilities. The reasons well-known.
It is not enough hotels of a tourist class, the sphere is insufficiently developed
Services, the public transport badly works.
To internal problems the external were added also. In a press already
It was informed: since April, 1st the Russian planes with the raised level
Noise of engines, and the basic types of ours concern that
Air liners, п я -134, п п -62, п п -76, п п -86, cannot
To carry out regular flights to the Western Europe. Negotiations with
Representatives of Eurocommission about an interdiction delay have not crowned
Success.
How this measure can affect tourist streams? It is unexpected
Whether it for heads of tourist industry? With such questions
Has addressed to participants of meeting the correspondent
"The St.-Petersburg sheets" Emma BELENKOVA.
Valery NIKIFOROV, the president of Council about tourism and excursions
St.-Petersburg:
- Business not only in noise of engines of our planes. In the market
Aircraft engineering and tourism there is a powerful competitive struggle.
The declared interdiction is a strong blow, it, of course, prepared.
In "Pulkovo" with charter planes that's all right, they
Are converted according to the new international standard.
But peripheral airlines still with might and main use cars,
Bought years ten - fifteen back in China. If
The declared measure will be entered, as a whole on the country it can
To undermine the tourist market. Percent of 60 planes it will be necessary
To remove from the international lines.
On the other hand, there is a problem of safety of flights. In
Years of reorganisation thought of it a little. Have now thought suddenly. It is necessary
All means to throw on technical equipment improvement
Civil aircraft. With the state support of crediting
Aviation enterprises. Look, what liners have such small
The countries, as Thailand, Singapore! And we will be compelled to rent
Planes in the West.
I hope, that the declared decision of Eurocommission not
The definitive. Even I will tell more: it is assured, that Russia delays
Will achieve.
Oleg of FOGS, the vice-president of the European tourist
Associations of the countries of commonwealth of the Black and Mediterranean seas:
- Planes with the raised noise level of engines basically
Serve charter flights. To Europe of charter flights all the same
It is a little, and that basically in the winter. And in the summer the same liners fly in
Turkey, Egypt, to Cyprus.
I think, since April, 1st the interdiction in force will not enter. Both parties
Will necessarily agree. The European companies understand, that in
Result the quantity of flights, in that can be reduced as a whole
Number and charter, from abroad. And to whom it is favourable?
Sergey KORNEYEV, the director of Northwest branch Russian
Associations of travel agencies:
- After tragical events in New York sharp recession has followed
Transportations on lines of the European and American airlines. They
Have urgently started to search for the new markets. So the declared measure -
Exit attempt on our country of the European airlines, which
Have certain lobbist possibilities. More noisy, than
Any of ours Ilov, "Concorde" has for some reason received the permission on
Flights to Europe.
The interdiction first of all will strike under charter programs. Though
Airlines prepared for this step, nobody expected so
Sharp turn. And those cars which in same "Pulkovo" can
Most likely, in new conditions will work to be used on
Usual flights. And tour agencies will appear in a situation of the third superfluous.
It is necessary to pass to services of foreign operators. The prices on
Tickets, I think, will increase slightly. And here a city, region in
Taxes will essentially lose. The foreign carrier is
The tax bearer of other country.
