Sanatorium opened, to book?
From 1 June accepted the booking at a special hospital with a medical base. But the exit from the territory is prohibited to walk there. Visitors to the city is out of bounds.
If I leave the resort?
— from what I hear, it will be considered a violation of the law, so you will substitute a sanatorium. It can deprive of the license. By the way, from the airport, the sanatorium staff are required to organise you a transfer. You need to go in the bus wearing masks and gloves. You will provide a small bus, each will sit a few people – for this VAS will have to pay separately.
– In the normal property is not to settle?
– As would be the case with hotels and Inns for rest is no information. They are not given permission to open. Hopefully, from mid-June their work will resume.

“more Profitable to vacation in Turkey, in Russia prices soar”
While tour operators trying to sell packages, the situation in the regions is not so optimistic. We have reviewed the recommendations, which rendered the Federal service for health-resort establishments, located by the sea.
Here are the requirements now operate in the resorts of Krasnodar region. Those who are going soon to the sea, you need to consider that the rest will have a limited time to live in the sanatorium allowed not more than 14 days. Reception of guests – only with the certificate of epidokruzhenii at the place of residence. If in your region the epidemiological situation is so-so, most likely, will have to serve 14 days in quarantine before you drive into the resort. To move into the room now allowed strictly one by one is the exception for family. Seating in the dining room too one person at the table, again, the rule does not apply to family. If the management of the sanatorium will not be able to arrange meals in the common area, the Breakfast-lunch-dinner you’ll have in the rooms. Walk around the sanatorium is strictly in the mask that has to be changed every 2 hours. Daily guests are required to measure the temperature.
We contacted Catherine, who works in the health-resort area. The woman explained in detail how it will look in summer recreation for tourists in Sochi.
– Now the sea and the beaches closed to the public, the city and the quays patrolled, everywhere there are fences, people scatter. For violation of to pay fines of from 15 to 40 thousand rubles, and the beginning of the interviewee. Soon the beaches are open plan. Tourists must remember that access to the sea will not have to surf to enjoy from afar. Even if you officially buy a ticket to the resort, the beach he entrance is also closed. Guests will be able to stay strictly in the hotel or sit in rooms. Accommodation is allowed for couples if their marriage is officially registered. If people are not itemized, they will have to live alone.
– Travelers must provide the statement before settling?
Before arrival, guests must obtain a certificate from the clinic at the place of residence that is healthy to pass the tests. From the airport or train station they would not be able to get yourself to the resort – transportation in the city is prohibited. The boarding house needs to attend to the transfer for the guests.
– to Move into the private sector or in a hotel is unrealistic?
– If a tourist decided to settle in hAstrom sector, it just does not get to the point. At the airport or railway station, it is obliged to show a ticket to a sanatorium, and not in private accommodation. It is unclear what will happen with the private sector. However, the owners of mini hotels has opened booking. Major hotels are also getting ready to work – buy masks, disinfectant. But when will be able to receive visitors, there is no understanding.
If a person has a property in Sochi, what to do?
– If a traveller has a residence in Sochi, it may, on arrival settle into your home. If there is no registration, its poison for 14 days in the Observatory. However, according to the latest information, the Governor proposed to make a finding in the Observatory surcharge. The same proposal considered in the resorts of Crimea. Explained by the fact that blows to the sea the flow of tourists, which is 14 days after serving the Observatory on the free accommodation, three meals a day, they will do tests COVID-19. Then they come out of observation and will continue to stay.
– the price of a summer holiday will rise?
– the Prices will soar. If July will open hotels, they are waiting for unforeseen expenses. The heads of major resorts have figured out how much it will cost them to market the tourist industry this season – came about 400 million rubles. Some masks for staff and visitors in a week will cost 3 million rubles, as according to the requirements of the CPS they need to be changed every 2 hours. Of course, this does not affect the cost of the permit. Staff need to perform tests on the COVID-19 every week is another item of expenditure. In big sanatorium employs about 1,200 people. So many factors are impossible to implement especially in small resorts that have a budget. Small pensions face problems, ruin and bankruptcy. Prices will rise not only for tours but also in the services sector. The owners of the same restaurants a few months were easy, suffered heavy losses on the rental of the building, people were left without work and money. We the people are thought to organize the rally. But the police quickly put a stop to such sentiments, the organizer threatened criminal liability. Even when the situation will improve, the Russians will be cheaper to vacation in Turkey.
As I understand it, Sochi residents are also not welcome tourists?
the Region was divided into two camps. Indeed, many fear that Sochi will be the hotbed of the epidemic, because, people would come here from all over Russia. The news showed that the airline on 1 June opened flights from the regions to Sochi.
Beaches sooner or later it will be opened?
– On the beaches no one says anything. If the beaches at the hotels are something you can control, divide the area into sections that people respected the distance. On the city it madebe impossible.
“On a beach in the mask, “buffet” banned”
there is no clear understanding on how to function the beaches in Russia, let’s see what happens in other countries.
Turkey is ready for the tourist season – says a worker of the travel Agency. – I hope by July to meet guests from different countries. According to the rules, the maximum occupancy of hotels now should not exceed 60 percent. At the entrance of the hotel to all tourists will measure the temperature. Guests are required to walk on site wearing masks. In the common areas – lobby, restaurant, pool, beach, will install signs indicating the boundary. Door handles, handrails, walls, floors shall be regularly disinfected. After leaving the room, the room will do the disinfection. Until the next check number will remain empty for at least 12 hours. Hotels are required to establish quarantine areas for guests which will notice a cough or fever. To serve these staff will only be in special protective suits. Fitness centers and SPA areas are open. The rules of social distance will be used in open and closed pools, as well as in the arrangement of the deck chairs. Before entering the pool, the tourist is obliged to take a shower. Buffet-under the ban. Hotel employees were obliged to distribute meals in masks and gloves. All foods and dishes put up in glass cases.
Yet there are not so many countries where it opened beaches. One of such directions – UAE. Dubai opens beaches with private hotels. Entrance by permit only. Before visiting the beach, you measure the temperature. If someone will be fever, such a person is sent to prison. On the beach everyone is required to wear masks and observe social distance not less than two meters.
