Foreign Football Fans Going on Guided Tours to Crimea - Local Lawmaker
09:34 GMT 19.06.2018 (Updated: 09:45 GMT 19.06.2018) SIMFEROPOL (Sputnik) - Foreign football fans, who came to Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, are traveling to Crimea by groups on guided tours, Head of the Crimean Parliament's Tourism Committee Alexey Chernyak told Sputnik Tuesday.
"Foreign football fans are choosing Crimea for excursions. I bumped into a group of Brazilians at the airport yesterday. The Swedes had been there before. Many are coming to Sochi, and because the match finished, the fans have a couple of free days and they chose to discover Crimea… As the Brazilians said yesterday, they wanted to see what on Earth was this Crimea that made the entire world go upside down," Chernyak said.
He added that tourists appreciate the high level of service and comfort in Crimea.
