During the May holidays, Crimea broke all Ukrainian records
A record number of tourists for the entire post-Soviet period vacationed in Crimea during the May holidays, according to the press service of the republic's Ministry of Resorts and Tourism, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the department, from April 29 to May 10, 520 thousand people visited Crimea - this is 72% more than in the previously record year 2019.
“The flow of motor tourists has increased significantly: for the first time, 75% of the total number of vacationers who visited the region during the holidays arrived through the Crimean Bridge. The share of autotourists this year is 19% more than in the same period in 2019. Another 20% of guests arrived by air, 4% by rail, and less than 1% across the border with Ukraine,” the report says.
The Ministry of Resorts also noted that the average occupancy of Crimean hotels during the May holidays was more than 70%. At the same time, five-star hotels were 95% occupied, and more budget accommodation bases were about 75%.
PolitNavigator previously reported that Crimean hotels are already so full with tourists that they are closing reservations for the summer season.
Crimea broke all records since the Ukrainian era during the May holidays.
