“The leading positions in the top popular New Year destinations are traditionally occupied by hotels and resorts of the Krasnodar Region,” says Vadim Trukshin, CEO of the Mantera Group. “Among the ski resorts, the most popular are the Krasnaya Polyana Resort and the All-Season Resort “Arkhyz”. High demand leads to the fact that now, for example, in Arkhyz, there are practically no available rooms: as of mid-October, the resort’s hotels are more than 75% booked for all New Year holidays.”
Interest in New Year’s offers from the Mantera Group remains at a high level, including due to the activity of the business units themselves, which develop new entertainment programs for their guests every year.
Thus, according to information from the Krasnaya Polyana Resort, New Year’s events at the main facility of the mountain cluster will be aimed at developing skills in live communication, ingenuity and team play. The events of the "Magic League of Santa Claus", in which children and adults are invited to participate, include interactive and quest games, shows and performances, animation programs and dance DJ sets. Participants of the holiday will also have the opportunity to meet the main winter wizard at his residence and take part in the big New Year's parade. The festive show program will begin at noon on December 31.
The holidays in the Krasnaya Polyana gambling zone will be united by a single concept of "Showtime, cinema and casino". From December 31 to January 7, all establishments of the gambling zone will offer festive dinners, raffles and dance shows, as well as performances by popular performers and cover bands. New Year's Eve at the Brunello restaurant will be held to the melodies and rhythms of foreign pop music. A professional host will be responsible for the guests' mood, and dancers and acrobats will take part in the program. The Cossack revelry will be held at the Buffet restaurant: the festive menu will consist of Caucasian and Kuban specialties.
Entertainment programs at the Mantera Group's marine cluster facilities will start on December 21 and will last until the Old New Year. Thus, guests of the Sochi Park theme park will enjoy a holiday in the style of the fairy tale "Twelve Months". During this period, the Father Frost Estate, the Dolphinarium, the Baba Yaga Residence will be open, and the highlight of the program will be the unique performance of the Nikulin Circus "In Search of Snowdrops". On December 31, Sochi Park will be open until two in the morning: during the day, guests will take part in a large-scale drawing, and in the evening, a cover band will perform on stage.
The singer Avraam Russo will be the guest star of the main holiday at the Bogatyr Castle Hotel.
