It's no secret that the overwhelming majority of Russian citizens, but simply those who have at least some financial capacity, prefer to spend their holidays in Turkey. This is guaranteed good weather, swimming in the clear waters of the Mediterranean, always fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. The flow of Russian tourists in the pre-pandemic time to Turkey reached more than 3 million people, and as soon as the borders of travel outside the Russian Federation during the pandemic opened, Russian vouchers began to return rapidly and people found every opportunity to come to Turkey again and again. This is not a secret to anyone. Why it happens? Why are the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory (and this is the main resort area of Russia), despite a large-scale advertising campaign and a significant range of offers when purchasing vouchers, cease to be the resorts where people want to come, bring their children and grandchildren, invest their savings in vacations? Maybe because in the open access of Internet resources you can see a variety of fecal maps of the above resorts, plus the dubious service of Black Sea hotels?
Unlike the Black Sea coast, the Mediterranean resort industry has never stood still, but has developed dynamically because there has always been an understanding: the sea and natural resources are the country's most important treasures that need to be protected and increased.
In Turkey, a water purification system exists and is constantly maintained in working order, which controls the non-flow of technical waste into the sea. Thanks to this system, Turkish beaches have been holding the blue flag of the Clean Waters of the World Foundation for Environmental Education for many years - this is a recognition of cleanliness and safety, an award for care and maintenance.
