During the winter season, ski resorts in Kuban will host about a million tourists, reports Ministry of Resorts and Tourism and the Olympic heritage of the Krasnodar region.
Over two thousand accommodation facilities are ready to receive guests in Sochi during the winter season with a total capacity of about 80 thousand rooms. The mountain cluster will have 57 cable cars and 120 trails with a total length of over 148 km. The capacity of the cable cars is about 28 thousand people per hour.
"90% of rooms have already been booked in the mountain cluster. Ski resorts expect at least a million vacationers in the winter season," emphasized the governor of the region, Veniamin Kondratyev.
On the instructions of the head of the region, an operational headquarters will be created in the Olympic capital for the New Year holidays, which will include representatives of the executive power, municipality, and law enforcement agencies. It will be headed by First Vice-Governor Andrey Alekseenko.
Veniamin Kondratyev instructed to take the issues of Sochi's transport infrastructure under special control. Thus, following the example of last year, the city administration together with the police will organize intercepting parking lots until December 15. Information boards about the restrictions on entry to Krasnaya Polyana by private cars, as well as the availability of free parking spaces, will be placed in the lower cluster.
According to the head of the resort, Anatoly Pakhomov, such work will help avoid traffic jams. In addition, during the New Year holidays, it is expected that the number of public transport in the resort will increase.
Veniamin Kondratyev also instructed the regional department of consumer affairs and alcohol market regulation to monitor food prices in the mountain cluster, preventing their artificial inflating.
