 The tourist companies are hesitating. For the tourist companies the preholidays' months are the most "hot" period. The tourist vouchers realization is usually being increased by 200-300%.
However this year the holiday-makers are quite a few. The tourist business in Ukraine stands still. The tourist companiy offices are semi empty and their telephons are practically keep scielence. Helen is working in the tourist company for three years and she says: we had nothing in common before. In former days she realized up to 20 vouchers a day, now - not more that 3.
Helen Bagriy is a manager working in the internal tourism:
"It's time already to receive calls for the New Year programs - nothing, and people are afraid as a whole. Much less calls are from the Donestk region and up to now no calls from Russia. For a while there is no intenion to cancel the New Year in Ukraine."
For the last two weeks the request for the rest in the Carpathian mountains has been decreased by 80%. And in spite of the fact that the level of our service is not bad and the price is the same - from 20 to 40 Euro per day/night - the funs of mountain skiing prefer the East Europe resorts.
Oxsana Neugosimaya, manager of the internal tourism:
"The number of tourists exactly in our company is not decreased and even increased in comparison with the previous year approximately by 10-20%. The tourist company is full of hope that by the New Year the current tension will be easier and the Ukraine resorts wellcome tourists for rest. But the way to increase the number of tourists is to promise of decrease the price. |
