Olympics 2014 work affects Sochi Tourism
Russian tour operators say the tourists visiting Sochi this year are less compared to other resorts in Krasnodar Region. The building sites and Olympics 2014 construction traffic jams are keeping the tourists away. It is very contradicting, considering the fact that the Olympics work has not yet started and traffic jams are lesser compared to 2007. Another reason for Sochi’s decreasing popularity - a holiday here is around 1.5 times more expensive than the neighbouring resorts.
