Tours are being canceled en masse.

Russians are afraid to go to the Crimea on vacation. The situation on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula led to the massive cancellation of tours at resorts.

This was reported by the press service of the Defence Intelligence on Telegram.

Intelligence reports that almost 80% of Russians refused the tours organized for June 2024 in occupied Sevastopol. The overall Crimean rate of cancellations of already booked tours last month was more than a third.

“First of all, Russians who have changed their minds about basking on the captured Crimean coasts are worried about the difficult security situation caused by the occupation,” the report says.

In particular, the Defence Intelligence notes that the mass refusal of Russians to vacation in the Crimea was influenced by the unreliable and deadly operation of the invaders’ air defense system.

“Another risk factor is the vulnerable illegal Kerch Bridge, which remains the main artery for so-called tourism from Russia and is used by Moscow for military logistics,” Ukrainian intelligence noted.
