It is a lot of hotels, to stay there is nobody.
It is a lot of hotels, to stay there is nobody.
All over the world hotel business is one of most
Profitable branches of economy. It would Seem, in Russia exist all
Preconditions for its successful development: attractive to tourists
Variety of natural features, set of ancient monuments, earlier
Closed for a review... However the Russian hotels are empty.
Mass, group tourism has decreased many times over in comparison
With "reorganisation" times. There was a business tourism: for the foreign
Businessmen Russia, despite of everything, is the country big
Possibilities.
Sharply enough all these problems stand even in large cities,
Such, as Petersburg and Moscow.
"Passengers" avtolajna "receive the discount in a hotel complex
"October" - says the announcement which has appeared in salons of many Moscow
marshrutok. That only do not think out now administration of hotels, that
To involve clients! And after all not so long ago to find in them a place was a problem not
On forces to the person with average abilities. Any ten years ago
Loading even inturistovskih the Moscow hotels reached to 101 percent:
They accepted on 1 million 200 thousand persons. A characteristic detail - in 1984
"Space" has bought 600 folding beds, as available three with
Half thousand places was insufficiently.
Alas, these times have passed. Interest to were to "the country of Councils", for a long time
Opened the borders for foreign visitors, it was considerably reduced -
Now the same Moscow visit 400-450 thousand tourists. On the statistican
The Russian hotel association, in the first half of the year 1997
The state hotels (them in Moscow 21) have been loaded on 51,6
Percent; ten hotels available in capital with participation of the foreign
The capital - for 66,9 percent; 28 joint-stock - for 46,8 percent and 64
Departmental - for 46,1 percent. It thus, that on the international norms
For the normal income and hotel functioning in him should be occupied
70 percent of places.
Unfortunately, this level it was not possible to reach even in days of celebrating
The 850 anniversaries of Moscow, on what so hoped managers of capital hotels.
The tourist boom has fallen to St.-Petersburg - in the summer loading Petersburg
Hotels reached 100 percent.
- Anything surprising, - experts speak. Are have worked
Market laws. After all in the summer, in the heat of the tourist season, preparing
To a celebration Moscow represented a continuous building site.
That foreign tourists could look at the Russian capital in it
It was necessary to prepare anniversary, a city not for autumn, and by the summer.
Nevertheless the quantity of hotels in Moscow increases. Recently
The decision of the Moscow government, in which was accepted
It is planned to construct 26 more tourist centres and 23 small hotels on
60-100 places. Now the emphasis becomes on creation of three-stars hotels,
Accessible to the mass tourist.
As a whole on the country business is worse. Those approximately two thousand hotels,
Which, by estimates of the Russian hotel association, are scattered on
To cities and vesjam our immense Native land, are loaded differently.
- Now tourists are involved, strangely enough, with not so much monuments
Architecture and beauty of the nature, - the chief executive Russian has told
Hotel association Evgenie Taptykov, - how much any special
Economic conditions in the given region. Many visitors accept Distant
The east because of a trading exchange with "our great the neighbour" - China; on
The second place after Moscow on appeal for cultural and business
Tourism there is St.-Petersburg; more or less brisk tourism
It is observed in frontier Kaliningrad and the Kaliningrad area. The
The share of visitors is received by cities of "the Gold ring": Yaroslavl, Kostroma,
Suzdal. But basically in kruiznyj a season when across Volga there are steam-ships with
Foreign tourists. The majority of perfect cities remain without
Visitors.
Now internal tourism without which it is impossible to hope for filling
The Russian hotels, has thoroughly decayed. Not that that in patriotic England,
Where he in relation to the foreign has grown now with 40 to 70 percent.
Russians, having assimilated to moles, dig the earth on the garden sites, and
That are richer, birds of passage have directed in the warm overseas
Antalia...
Because of small congestion the prices for services, as to hotels grow also
It is necessary to pay back the existence is minimum at least. However their decision
Problems it is almost impossible without creation of normal information base,
Databank in which data on all hotels, houses would be stored
Rest, campings and motels, and corresponding advertising, for example catalogues
Hotels. Now such serious job is conducted in the Kaluga area. The authorities
The majority of other regions plead shortage of means. Meanwhile
Experts whom under force the decision of these questions, are available: exists,
For example, the Moscow research project institute of objects
Culture and sports which does for an estimation of capital potential much
