- Tragedy influence in the USA on the tourist market of Russia, and in
Particulars of Petersburg while it is difficult to estimate, - Sergey considers
Timraliev, the general director of one of the largest Russian
Tour agencies - "Neva". - On the one hand, this tragedy should
To call recession of tourist trips. With another - the world has learnt
Promptly enough to overcome various cataclysms... To that
For a long time it is known: nothing can stop tourism.
War can only. But there is a hope, that the large-scale
Military actions on a global scale will manage to be avoided.
We have met Sergey Timralievym on the eve of opening of one
From the largest tourist forums - autumn tourist
Fairs "Inveteks" which traditionally sums up the summer
Season also represents new routes for the autumn and winter.
- It is a pity, that conversation on tourism to us should be begun with
Discussions of one of recent tragedies, - the general speaks
The director of "Neva". - It is a pity doubly: and consequently, that the tragedy concerns
Each of us, and consequently, that domestic tourism after crisis
1998 left on pre-crisis level, and it is a perfect springboard
For its even more intensive development.
To consider a summer season successful at Timralieva there are all bases.
Only for the past 9 months by means of "Neva" in travel
Have gone about 100 thousand our compatriots -
Petersburgers and Muscovites, inhabitants of Ekaterinburg and Bottom
Novgorod, Novosibirsk and Kazan, other regions of Russia. After all
Today almost 2,5 thousand tourist agencies on all country offer
To the clients turpakety "Neva" - one of the most solid and
Reliable tour agencies of the Russia which have managed for ten years to leave in number
Leaders and named by professionals of tourist industry "the Best in Russia
Tour operator across Europe ".
Past summer "Neva" has managed to offer Petersburgers and inhabitants
Other regions rather extensive program for excellent rest,
Having expanded possibilities and those who has got used from year to year
Together with "Neva" to go to Bulgaria and Spain, Greece,
Turkey, to Cyprus... For the first time for Petersburgers "Neva" has opened
The remarkable resorts of Croatia located on Adriactic Sea, on
To the neighbourhood with Italy. Many did not believe, that Croatia in Petersburg
It will be possible to "untwist" - and without Adriactic Sea of routes set,
Predilections of tourists are already defined, besides hardly will be
Enough wishing to go on the well-known beaches of Istria, that
To fill charter flights from Petersburg. But "Neva"
Has used that works for a long time in scales of all Russia,
That in Moscow, where potential clients much more, for a long time and
Successfully its branch operates.
- We fine knew, that Petersburgers not very much like to fly
On resorts through Moscow: long and expensive moving from one
The airport in another, joinings lasting many hours between flights... We
Have tried to minimise the losses connected with it: have organised
Flight from this the airport where all cores arrive
The Petersburg flights, - from Sheremetev, and have made the schedule
So that time between flights did not exceed
One and a half-two hours. Thanks to all to it, and first of all,
Certainly, to delights of the Croatia, possibility for one day
To go on courts on underwater wings to Venice, Croatian
The program has gone right, and we have decided it to continue the next year and
To expand, having signed agreements with new, even more
Comfortable hotels. Well and if sufficient number
Petersburgers will wish to have a rest next year in Croatia,
Let's lift direct charter flights.
- It seems to me, this summer many travel companies, softly
Speaking, have missed, having reserved record number of charter-parties to Turkey
- About ten in a week. Many tour agencies simply "burnt": well is not present
In Petersburg at all our love to rest in Turkey it is so much
Wishing to go to Antalia or Marmaris. Really it was impossible
To analyse a situation prior to the beginning of a season and to avoid those
Losses which have incurred many firms?
- It is our eternal trouble - tour agencies are not capable with each other
To agree. Stir excessive ambitions, desire to operate to spite
To the competitor. Has reached that the prices for a trip to Turkey
Were practically made even with Bulgarian - traditionally lower.
Therefore many have, of course, preferred to have a rest in Turkey, where and
It is better than a condition, and service above. After all the big number of people choose
Resorts on availability of the price. And such clients in the past
Season have obviously won. But so cannot long proceed: as a whole
The tourist market only has suffered from this situation, some
Tour agencies have appeared on the verge of ruin. Process natural, but
The unpleasant.
As to "Neva", thanks to that with set
The Bulgarian hotels at us old direct communications and numbers we
We pay in advance so, the prices it is received lower, to us
It was possible to work not bad both on Bulgarian, and on the Turkish
Directions. Only on resorts of Bulgaria - in Albena, Varna, on
Gold Sand, Solar Coast - in the past season on ours
To permits the record number of tourists - about 13 thousand has had a rest.
- But now over trips to this country has hung enough
The heavy cloud - since October, 1st Bulgaria has entered a visa regime for
Citizens of Russia. Now hardly many will want to have a rest in
Bulgaria if for visa registration it is necessary to pay more than 50
Dollars. If on rest the family from four persons goes -
It at least superfluous 200 dollars.
- First, not 50, for tourists - 23 dollars. Though, on mine
Sight, it too is very expensive, as makes a powerful share in
Expenses for traditionally cheap rounds.
While early to run into pessimism as much depends from most
Procedures of reception of the visa. Yes, today many countries result the
The legislation in conformity with the European norms - in that
Number and Bulgaria. It is inevitable process. But influence of the Russian
Tourism on economy, so, and on well-being of this country
It is so great, that, I think, Bulgarians will not want to lose the such
Incomes.
I think, that many tour agencies, including, of course, and "Neva" -
One of the tour operators largest in Russia across Bulgaria, will develop
Such price policy who will give the chance and in the future to those,
Who prefers to have a rest at the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria,
To spend some pleasant weeks on its magnificent beaches. In
Any case we have already carried on negotiations with our constants
The Bulgarian partners about booking of the big number of hotels on
Next summer.
- And time we have started talking about Turkey... I know, that in connection with
Acts of terrorism in the USA many large world tour operators aspire
It is more to reserve hotels in Spain, than in Turkey.
- Spain - traditionally one of the most popular directions
For "Neva", and in the past summer season rest on It kosta-is gallant and
Kosta-Dorado, Kosta-del-salt and on Majorca was very popular. With
Autumns, as always, we will start to send charter flights on
Remarkable resorts of Canary Islands - to Tenerife. But from
Turkey to refuse and is not thought. Now just we carry on negotiations
With our Turkish partners about the organisation of more extensive
Programs the next summer and booking bolshego numbers of hotels
Both around Antalia, and in vicinities Dalomana.
- Canary Islands - traditionally one of the most popular directions
For autumn and winter rest. And where still you offer
To go, to make travel from winter at summer?
- Possibilities set. This year, for example, we have solved
To offer those who likes to have a rest at coast of Red sea,
To make travel not only to Hurgada, but also in Charm-ale-sheikh,
Where like to happen the king of Jordan and the president of Egypt, leaders
Many other things the countries, the Arabian sheikhs. Red sea - present paradise
For fans of a scuba diving, and rest on perfect beaches
It is possible to combine with trips to Cairo and Luxor, to pyramids of Giza.
Flights to Hurgada have already begun with the end of September, and in
Charm-ale-sheikh will begin in October.
But the winter is interesting also to that it is possible to sunbathe on the warm
Beaches to bathe in the sea, and it is possible to go on the mountain-skiing
Resorts. And such choice of rest in mountains what we will offer
This winter, perhaps, at "Neva" yet was not. We offer
Resorts of Bulgaria and France, Austria and Germany, Spain. On
Forthcoming mountain-skiing season we have signed the agreement with one of
The Swiss hotels, located in Anzere, in 20 minutes of driving from
The well-known resort the Crane-montana. Next year will begin
Association of these resorts in a uniform mountain-skiing complex - it
The Anzer-crane-montana will be called and becomes the largest in
Switzerland.
Any more the first year we send fans of mountain-skiing rest
And on border of France and Spain - to Andorra where likes to have a rest
All Europe and it is very difficult to receive places in hotels in the winter. In
Forthcoming season we considerably expand this program - with
December our charter flights will go to Barcelona from
Moscow. In Andorra we have already redeemed numbers in the most popular
Hotels.
I any more do not speak about mounting skiing resorts of Finland and Sweden,
Where from year to year we send the big number of tourists.
Today all becomes more popular in our clients
Scandinavia. And bus rounds across Finland, Sweden, Denmark and
Norway, and rest in cottages, Helsinki and Stockholm, travel
On ferries "Silja Lajn" and a meeting of Christmas and New year. Many
Prefer to go to these countries with "Neva" - most
Large tour operator in Russia across Scandinavia.
After the Scandinavian countries were included into the Schengen zone,
We became our numerous and very popular bus rounds
Across Europe to send not through Belarus, and through Scandinavia.
So now, going by buses to France, Italy,
Germany, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, our tourists have
Possibility to visit and in Scandinavia close to us. And these rounds
Use the increasing popularity. After all our program
It is made so that was as small as possible night moving,
Hotels settled down in the centre of the largest European capitals and
Very sated excursion program was always offered. Here
Why these trips are popular at any time year. As in any
Season our rounds to Czechia - to Prague, in Karlovy are popular also
Vary, trips on the well-known medieval castles, which in Czechia
Are not less interesting, than in Germany.
This winter we namereny to organise charter programs from
Moscow in capital of Lapland, home Santa-Klausa - in Rovaniemi
And in Helsinki. And the traditional is developed for Petersburgers
The program of travel to Lapland through Helsinki.
Inhabitants of Petersburg can use since November and ours
New charter flights from Moscow on the well-known Indian
The resort of Goa located at coast of Arabian sea, where
Fans of exotic from many countries of the world prefer to have a rest.
I have mentioned only our main directions. But "Neva"
It is capable to execute any imaginations of the clients: to organise
Hunting in Kenya or rest on Sejshelah, Maldives, on Cuba or in
To Dominican republic... A second year for us works
The VIP-department who is ready to execute any wishes of Petersburgers,
To organise any individual round. And clients at this department
Becomes more and more.
- But after all there are the people, preferring to have a rest not so in the winter
Far - in vicinities of Petersburg.
- Certainly. And too it is a lot of such people. And their interests we
We consider both in the summer, and in the winter. We have long-term contacts with
Sanatoria and boarding houses of Karelian isthmus, where always
It was pleasant to have a rest to fans of our Russian winter.
Our purpose - that all clients of "Neva", whatever round they
Have used, whatever direction for travel have selected
- Whether it be a trip for one day in Helsinki or rest on the Bahamas
Under the exclusive program, - always received from travel
The maximum of pleasure and for a long time was saved by the most good
Memoirs on the trip.
The conversation was conducted by Vladimir Strugatsky
