Muscovites occupied Sochi: who was evicted from hotels, are eager to have entrepreneurs

However, to really stay tourists still failed. Over the weekend people were evicted from the hotels and sent back home.

“tonight We were evacuated urgently from the hotel, complained Muscovite Ekaterina. Said, before the first of June Sochi closed. From the hotel reception called at 00.14 and said that at 2 a.m. you come over the bus, and all will be delivered to the airport.”

on the Eve of the Adler airport was filled with poor folks who were forced to return home – in Perm, Rostov, Moscow and other cities.

Elena: “We arrived before the quarantine. Had planned to stay until March 31, and at the reception accidentally learned that on March 28, we are being evicted. The tour operator didn’t help us, we all decided at their own expense: quickly bought return tickets and flew to Moscow. Old tickets were burned. When sitting at the airport, received a notice from the tour operator on force majeure. About the refund – not a word. In the end, lost 40 thousand rubles. At the time of the eviction, the hotel still had 2,240 people. At the airport C panic. If someone was coughing behind him, the people bounced to the side. And everyone was interested in – who now ask, in court no one else will serve, the courts, too, closed.”

Alex is one of those who also had to finish ahead of the holidays: “I have paid the accommodation for 8 days, and I was told to leave. When I went to the airport, I noticed that the number of people in Sochi did not decrease, and Vice versa. People cheated, began to settle not in hotels and in private hotels or take corners pensioners. More savvy moved from the hotel where they were evicted, in a small hotel”.

According to employees of large hotels to evict guests had for the reason that the hotel management couldn’t provide the conditions of quarantine: to provide guests with masks, disinfectants and to provide food delivery in the room, not to feed everyone in the common dining room.

Many decided to extend the holiday not in hotels, and in the private sector. Those who have enough money, decent rented housing. Poorer people are checked in to the grandmothers for 6-8 people in the room. Our pensioner Lodge at strangers, they don’t care whether a person has the virus or not. So the mass Exodus did not happen. People continue to walk along the quays. The owners of the private sector pulled up the price now rent rooms by 5 thousand rubles per day, while in the off-season, a room could rent for $ 1000. So the private sector is now afloat. Local know that the season is lost, money will not, so decided to make. Coronavirus does not scare anyone.

In social networks, one man shared his observation: “recently we talked with a taxi driver, which had its own private hotel. He admitted that it was bread time, we should use it”.
