Caribbean vacations attract more Russians

08:07, 7 июня 2013

More and more Russians visit the Caribbean with every passing year. The most popular destinations are Cuba and the Dominican Republic, while other islands such as Jamaica, the Bahamas and Barbados are gaining momentum too. Last week, representatives of major Caribbean resorts visited Moscow and Saint Petersburg to attend a workshop organized by the Caribbean Tourism Association.

The best example of the positive trend is Jamaica. Last year, the island welcomed two thousand Russian tourists, and the same number came there during the first three months of this year alone! A winter-season direct flight operated by Transaero Airline and tour operator Biblio Globus are believed to be the main reason for such an upturn.

After the Bahamas allowed the Russians to enter the country with no visa in 2009, says Mr. Pyotr Ksendzov of the destination's tourist office, the flow of visitors from our country has been adding 30% every year. And even though in absolute numbers the flow is not that impressive, the Russians have already managed to catch up with the Swiss.
