Turkish tourist operators regard Crimea as alternative to Montenegro

Seven large tourist operators of Turkey stated about participation in the information tour in Crimea, which they regard as an alternative to East European resorts.

Currently, Crimea is regarded as a serious alternative to the tourist market of Eastern Europe, in particular, to resorts of Macedonia, Montenegro and Bulgaria. Crimea evokes a great interest with Turkey both from the viewpoint of cultural-historical tourism and as health-improvement tourism,” Director of the Turkish Airline representative offices in Ukraine Serhat Fil has said.

According to him, an interest of Turkish tourist companies to Crimea grew thanks to abolishment of the visa regime between Ukraine and Turkey.

The information tour of Turkish tourist operators will be held in October this year. Within its frames, visiting of hotels and health resorts is planned on the peninsula. Currently, the Crimean Resorts and Tourism Ministry prepares a list of objects, which will be included into the information tour program, and expects a round-the-year flow of tourists from Turkey in the perspective. In particular, in September-October, 1,500 Turkish children will familiarize with Crimean points of interest.
