Черноморский туризм в кризисе: массовые отказы от путевок после разлива мазута

Mass cancellations of Black Sea vacations are causing alarm in Anapa, a key tourist destination. The recent oil spill has led to parents pulling their children from summer camps and resorts. Natalia Poklonskaya, a prominent Russian public figure, has spoken out, criticizing the government's response. "Where is the government's help?" she asks, pointing to the financial hardship faced by sanatorium and camp owners. Poklonskaya calls for urgent action, including providing alternative vacation options and demonstrating tangible efforts to clean up the polluted waters. The situation highlights the delicate balance between tourism and environmental protection, and the crucial role of government support in times of crisis. The economic impact on Anapa, a significant economic and social resource, is substantial, and a swift and effective response is needed to restore confidence and revive the tourism sector.
