Russian tour operators, already reeling from the weak rouble, have been hurt. “We underestimated how many [securocrats] there were,” says Irina Tyurina of Russia’s Tourism Industry Union. “But they want to have a vacation all the same.” So demand has risen for Russia’s few seaside resorts, such as Sochi, the site of the Winter Olympics in 2014, and Anapa on the Black Sea—and Crimea. Operators of package tours to Egypt and Turkey have begun organising similar trips to Sochi: charter flights, air-conditioned buses, all meals included. “If a person is used to package tours, he or she won’t be disappointed,” says Sergei Tolchin of NTK-Intourist. “It’s the same model, only if the beaches in Turkey are sandy, then in Sochi there are pebbles.”
