"Growth of hospitality businesses"

Today in Russia there is an unprecedented growth of indicators in the hotel industry. In most countries of interest to travellers, annual growth in tourist performance averages 4%. Russia has shown much greater success in recent years, dictated by a lot of reasons, most of which are not life-affirming, but make investments in this sphere very and very attractive. Consider in more detail the reasons why the country is experiencing a certain hotel boom.

The fall of the national currency

What happened to the ruble in the last couple of years does not know, perhaps, only the child. We are interested in this situation in the context of the prospects of the hotel business. What does this fact tell us? Of course, the fall of the national currency does not bode well for the economic situation as a whole. However, if you look at the situation from the point of view of the traveler, it becomes clear why in recent years hotels all over the country arise as if mushrooms after rain. A huge number of people live below the poverty line in the country. This category of citizens, as could not afford to travel, can never. However, middle-income citizens have recently praised their seals from Egyptian, Turkish, Greek, Spanish and other airports in foreign passports every year. To date, in proportion to the price of the euro to the ruble, the cost of foreign rest for Russians has also increased. Therefore, an increasing number of travellers prefer domestic rest abroad, because the latter simply cannot afford.

Closing the most popular tourist destinations

Of course, the closure of flights to Egypt and Turkey could not but affect the demand for domestic coasts. A relatively inexpensive alternative to these favorite Russian countries are Tunisia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. However, the increasing number of tragic cases in these countries also call into question foreign leave for most Russians. It should also not be forgotten that for certain categories of citizens the border has closed to a castle at all. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, whether they are a simple precinct or the head of the transport police of the railway station, cannot travel outside the homeland legally. To date, there are very contradictory rumors that the border will also be closed to all civil servants, but there is no confirmation of this. Although the list of persons prohibited from leaving the country is expanding.
