"Russian Tour Operators Urge Vacationers to Stay in Crimea Despite Bridge Attack"

Russian tour operators are urging vacationers not to cancel their trips to Crimea following Ukraine's attack on the Crimea bridge, which disrupted travel between the peninsula and Russia. The attack destroyed a large section of the bridge's road span, causing significant delays for cars entering and leaving Crimea. Tourists are being offered alternative destinations or the option to reschedule their trips. Rail traffic is still operating with delays, and drivers are encouraged to use the land route through occupied parts of Ukraine. Hotels in Crimea are extending stays for stranded tourists.
