One of the main resorts of the Soviet de facto become part of Russia. Now the plan in Crimea this year, waiting up to 8 mln. Tourists and feverish demand for homes and land. However, this does not happen. For tourists on the peninsula will be too expensive and uncomfortable, but for investors - is unsafe. The right to real estate in the Crimea in the future will be easy to challenge, so the redistribution of property in this location is not far off.
Republic of Crimea (ROK), and with it the city of Sevastopol, separating from Ukraine and joining Russia, expect to take about 8 million tourists in 2014. That is 33% more than in the past, when the peninsula came to 6 million. Visitors. Of which, however, two-thirds were citizens of Ukraine. "All arrangements are aimed at maximizing the potential of accommodation facilities in the part of their load, since in 2014 the Crimea should take 8 million travelers.In this regard, the whole resort infrastructure in the region, ranging from transportation and ending willingness to resorts, beaches, catering and so on. Should be as mobilized "- said in a press release of the Crimean parliament.
However, waiting in vain Crimeans - tourist tsunami on the island collapses. The reasons are many. The first - instability. To her, at least, have to get used to. After the start of the unrest in Egypt, the demand for this resort among Russians fell. Little by little our fellow citizens once again began acquiring permits in this country, coming to the conclusion that their lives and health is not in danger. But there is at least a factor of cheapness could work.
But in the Crimea will not. There are traditionally more expensive than in neighboring, much more relaxed and comfortable in Turkey, which in recent years has rested even many of the Crimean people.They flew to the aircraft. However, now that the way for them practically banned. Like most Russians - the way to the Crimea. The sky over the peninsula still closed - and you will not know, because it requires the consent of international organizations that joining the peninsula to Russia do not recognize. Even in Kiev or Istanbul Crimeans have to fly via Moscow. If the Russians have prodelyvat same difficult path through the capital of the province, it is a holiday get gold, and airfare can cost more than to Thailand.
But the flight - it's not so bad. It is also important that it is now no longer go to the Crimea Ukrainians, who last year was two-thirds of the total tourist flow.
The main problem - is the infrastructure. Crimean sanatorium shabby, built during the Khrushchev and Brezhnev, with the corresponding service can not compete with the modern Turkish hotel. Especially when you consider that the price of Crimeans declared almost above Turkish.
As for the small private hotels, then they are now in the Crimea of insecurity becomes simply to stop you might be trite to drive on the street, the new owners. After joining Russia in the Crimea begins a large-scale redistribution of property.
By this, of course, sought by many representatives of local and Russian authorities intend to seize the choicest pieces of the coast. And indirectly helped them to the Ukrainian authorities closed the Crimea access to a single land cadastre of Ukraine, who had just earned last year.
Thus, there is no legal continuity - the ownership of the land of any owner can be called into question. Especially, if he bought a plot of land or a house after joining the peninsula to Russia when Ukrainian inventory was not working.With regard to the promises of the Russian Rosreestra quickly connect Crimea to the Russian system, then they are obviously not feasible. The Russian authorities do not have the cadastral plan of the peninsula, will have to collect data on the old archives. All disputes and border areas will again be challenged.
In addition, the potential buyer of real estate Crimean easily learns that Crimea is not sufficient in either fresh water or food (including fruits and vegetables), no electricity, no fuel, no gas. So that Ukraine may at any time to "close" the tourist season. Because no one will dare to go to rest, and even more so to buy real estate in a region where summer may not work and the air conditioning will not be able to wash even after the sea, and in the winter - it does not get warm.
Do not forget about such an unpleasant climate peculiarities of the Crimean coast, as coming several times during the tourist season cold currents.These periods can last long enough, and they are very difficult to predict. The water temperature during the so-called "nizovok" can reach + 15-17 degrees - swimming in it will bring pleasure and can result in convulsions and colds. Arriving in the summer for 2 weeks in the Crimea, you can not open a private bathing season. At the same time the Turkish coast weather conditions remain virtually unchanged during the tourist season.
But most importantly, what it is worth considering the potential buyers of real estate in the Crimea, is that the ownership of land on the peninsula is no longer recognized by any foreign country or international organization. And Ukraine, which intends to sue Russia, could file lawsuits in international courts, or simply try to confiscate the property of those who have bought real estate Crimea under Russian law.Clearly, in this situation, not only foreign, but even Russian investments in the Crimean land and property can not be expected, as, indeed, and the growing number of tourists.
Lovers «all inclusive» will continue to travel to Turkey, and their more affluent compatriots who buy seaside property, continue to purchase apartments and houses in Turkey, and not the Crimean towns. Turks themselves they will be able to easily explain the precarious situation of the property owner in the "gray" area of legal, because Turkey has its own Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is not recognized by the world community and where to buy real estate only the brave adventurers.
Therefore, having weighed all the arguments, we can conclude that the expectations of the tourist rush and the sharp increase in demand for real estate in Crimea are at least premature.
