After my stay in Sochi I can really feel the atmosphere of this specific city. The reality of Sochi at the moment is a huge city under construction and pharaonic projects for the Olympic Games.
There is a big pressure from the olympic comitee regarding deadlines respect. In the contract the city of Sochi is supposed to build :
- 100 km of railway lines
- 75 km of highways
- 19 flyovers
- 20 tunnels
- New waste processing plant
- Seaport for a capacity of 10 ships and 300 yachts
- Goods terminals and port stations.
The real estate sector faces important changes as well. At the moment there are 23 000 rooms in the city and they plan to have 41 500 rooms in 2014. (12 564 of 4* and 5* rooms)
These infrastructures will be a great advantage in the very competitive tourism industry. On the Russian market there is no doubts that Sochi will become very attractive. The question I am asking is why Europeans would have the desire to spend their holidays in Sochi ?
