Russian tourists seek alternative destinations
SOCIAL and political tensions in Turkey, Egypt and the rest of North Africa are diverting more Russian tourists to the Costa Blanca.
Recent terrorist attacks and unrest have meant that Russians are choosing alternative destinations for their holidays – and among the most popular is Spain.
On the Alicante coastline, bookings have shot up for the Coveta Fuma in Campello, Torrevieja and towns throughout the Marina Baja, where the holidaymakers can find safe, private accommodation at very reasonable prices.
