“Crimea prepares exciting programs for the May holidays, so tourists who planned to relax in Turkey can come to Crimea,” RIA Novosti quoted Chernyak as saying.

He noted that booking a vacation in Crimea is already higher than before the pandemic.

According to him, places in four- and five-star hotels are almost completely sold out.

Earlier, Russia decided to limit air traffic with Turkey from April 15 to June 1.
