Ukrainians keep on visiting the currently Russia-occupied Crimea. Some of them insist the annexation of the peninsula did not affect their intentions to spend holidays at the seaside.
The others simply refuse to comment the issue. Nevertheless, the influx of those willing to enjoy the Crimean sea resorts has decreased drastically. According to official statistics, the number of people crossing the temporary border between continental Ukraine and occupied peninsula lessens annually.
Oleh Slobodyan, press officer of Ukraine's State Border Guard Service: "In June 2016 nearly 180,000 people crossed the administrative border. This is almost 70,000 less than the previous year. Russian media claim the tourist influx has risen. But we see the transport flow is twice as low."
