Crimea is a wonderfull place with great pnttoeial for international tourism. It'slike this place is just waiting to be discovered, and investors seem to be blind to the opportunities. But of course nothing is as simple as it seems. Yes Crimea has the pnttoeial to be bigger and better then the Golden Sands or Costa Del Sol, but where is the infrastructure? Where is the government investment? And of course which private investor would want to invest in a country with such an unstable political climate? I wouldn't. Would you?I don't think many westerners even know where Crimea is, never mind having ever been there. Which does seem quite strange, because crimea is tree times the size of Cyprus and is deffinetely much more beautiful. I really hope things will start to change in the future.
