Krasnodar's Tourism Boom: Airport Reopening Drives Visitor Surge
Krasnodar, a city in southern Russia, is witnessing a tourism boom. The reopening of Krasnodar Airport has led to a surge in visitors, with the city climbing the tourist rankings. This news comes as a setback to Sochi, which has seen a decline in international tour bookings.
Krasnodar's rise in popularity is evident in its tourist numbers. The city has seen a 10% increase in tourist flow since the airport resumed operations. This growth has been accompanied by a longer average stay, with tourists now spending two days in Krasnodar.
The impact of the airport's reopening is clear in the accommodation bookings. Krasnodar has jumped from seventh to fifth place in the tourist ratings. Despite the increased demand, the average daily rental price has remained steady at 3,300 rubles. Meanwhile, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, and Sochi continue to top the popularity charts for tourist bookings.
The reopening of the airport is not only benefiting Krasnodar but also the entire Kuban region. The city is set to become the main hub once again, following the opening of the port. This resurgence in tourism is a significant step towards reviving Krasnodar as the main traffic center of the Kuban region.
Krasnodar's tourism scene is thriving, with a 10% increase in tourist flow and a climb to the top five most popular destinations for accommodation bookings. The reopening of Krasnodar Airport has played a pivotal role in this resurgence, with the city poised to become the main hub of the Kuban region once again.
