Russians remain in great demand

Wiesbaden. The crisis in Ukraine has hit tourism hard, not only in Ukraine and Russia, but in other European markets. Whilst a whole range of Russian tour operators went insolvent in the first half of the year, European tourism companies fear that business with Russians in the west will collapse in the second half. Particularly interesting is how investors are behaving: Russians who like to invest their money, in Germany for instance, are changing their plans - and some even pray together with their German business partners in Moscow for peace. A situation between hope and fear, on all sides.
