In Crimea, the number of cancelled bookings increased by 87.9% over the year, while in Sevastopol it rose by 78.9%. The sudden drop in demand in Crimea was caused by the difficult situation regarding the functioning of transport and infrastructure in the region, which resulted from regular attacks on the peninsula by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the end of May, Crimea faced a shortage of gasoline; currently, on the annexed peninsula, it is not available for free sale.
