Dear Family Members,
We are at the end of this year and ready for welcoming the New Year. We had a really strange year. Actually it was good in the first half. We had huge expectations and increased our capacity sharply. Before the season starts it was still ok with the early bookings. But unfortunately everything has been changed after Russia had crisis. Incredible value loss on ruble has affected all the Business sectors but mostly Tourism. When our Tour Operators realized that this situation will not end soon we had to revise all the near future plans. Now only thing we can do is trying not to lose too much, minimizing the costs and handling our financial profile much more carefully. You can be sure that we will not have any financial problem during this crisis period until whenever it goes.
But the things could be more difficult in the coming period. Please be more patient to each other because all of us have too much stress. We should not lose our concentration, coordination, dedicated efforts and stand tall against this situation. It’s not in our hands, it’s about politics and economy. That’s why we cannot estimate the recovery time. Everything will be ok at the end but we need time for that.
In such crisis period two things are very important and I want all of you to be careful about it. Please do not gossip and do not egg each other on. Any information you need to get has to be by me only. Don’t give any credit to the rumours and just concentrate on your work.
I would like to thank all of you for the efforts and understanding. And I would like you to have a wonderful, healthy, happy and wealthy year of 2015
