The pricing policy of hotels has stimulated demand for vacations in Anapa.

In Anapa, hotels and sanatoriums are currently 73 percent full, reported the governor of the Krasnodar region. Hotels are keeping prices in Anapa at last year's level and are even holding sales, emphasized the hotelier.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", 89 beaches in Anapa are already open, and another 12 are undergoing examination. The sand used to cover the beaches has compacted and is not very suitable for recreation, users of social media pointed out. Other commentators expressed hope that the imported sand would gradually be washed away by the sea. Authorities reported about 830 thousand tourists who visited Anapa since the beginning of the year, adding that the replenishment of the beaches with new sand is ongoing. Bloggers confirmed that there are many vacationers on the beaches.

Since the beginning of summer, 3.5 million people have vacationed in the resorts of the Krasnodar region. In total, since the beginning of the year, the Krasnodar region has received more than 7.3 million tourists, reported the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev.

"The average booking level exceeds 60 percent, and this figure is almost the same for both seaside and foothill resorts. In the resort city of Anapa, hotels and sanatoriums are currently 73 percent full," he wrote on his Telegram channel on July 21.

Prices in Anapa are at last year's level.

Among the drivers of demand for Anapa are low prices, noted Alexey Vysokanov, the general director of the "Atelika" and "Divny Mir" hotel chain.

"Currently, prices in Anapa are at last year's level, and many hotels are also holding sales. The highest demand is for quality four-star hotels with 'all-inclusive', and their prices are currently good. And there are available spots: the occupancy of such hotels in June was at 65%, and for July-August it is 50-45%, with no price increase expected in the near future," "Ink" quotes him.
