Earlier, the press service of the Sochi airport reported that the first plane to Manama will depart on June 3 and return on the same day. In the future, the frequency of flights will be 1 flight per week.
Recall that in 2019, the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone initiated the launch of a charter along the same route, but due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, this project was not implemented.
Natalia Voldaeva, General Director of the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone, admitted an increase in the flow of tourists from Arab countries: "For the gambling zone, expanding the geography of guests is a significant development direction. It will certainly be difficult for us to return to the pre-crisis indicators, when the share of foreign tourists was 24% of the total flow of guests. I would like to remind you that since the opening of the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone, the flow of foreign guests has increased annually. In 2017, about 29,000 people visited the gambling zone, followed by 85,000 in 2018. The record value was recorded in 2019, when the gambling zone received more than 130 thousand foreign visitors.
The organization of direct flights with such a large airport allows us to look with cautious optimism at the prospect of the appearance of residents of Arab countries in the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone.
In 2023, 886,454 people visited the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone, of which 57,979 were foreign guests, mainly from Kazakhstan, China, Israel, Turkey, India, etc.
