Russia’s Crimean administration to build a holiday resort like Antalya, in Crimea

Russia’s Crimean administration has announced the creation of a huge Antalya-style resort in the Sak region. The news was shared by Sputnik of Russia.

A large resort similar to Antalya will be built in the Sak region of Crimea. Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Yevgeniy Kabanov who made the statement said that the construction of all necessary infrastructure will be provided by the state. Kabanov noted that the construction of recreational facilities will be undertaken by investors who are already interested in the project.

“A new modern resort will be built”

“In fact, a new modern resort will be built on the west coast of Crimea,” Kabanov said, adding that the total area of the resort, including five kilometers of beach strip, will be about 500 hectares.

Crimean leader Sergey Aksenov had given assurances last Wednesday after news of Turkey’s closure that the peninsula was fully prepared to accept the projected flow of passengers.

Based on news shared by Sputnik more than 6 million tourists are expected to travel to Crimea this year. That’s 20 percent more than the previous year. The success of the holiday season will depend on the pace of vaccination on the peninsula, Aksenov said.
