The situation in the occupied Crimea has led to a mass cancellation of tours for illegal vacations on the peninsula’s resorts.
Nearly 80% of Russians have canceled organized tours planned for June 2024 in occupied Sevastopol. The overall cancellation rate of booked trips in Crimea last month exceeded one-third.
Russians who have reconsidered their plans to vacation on the annexed Crimean coasts are primarily concerned about the complex security situation caused by the occupation.
The mass refusal of Russians to visit Crimea has been influenced by the unreliable and deadly performance of the invaders' air defense systems.
Another risk factor is the vulnerable and illegal Kerch Bridge, which remains a key artery for so-called tourism from Russia and is used by Moscow for military logistics.
