Summer season forecasts in Anapa have sparked skepticism among internet users.

Anapa authorities reported the completion of the first section of the coastal strip from the Medical Beach to the Bimlyuk Sanatorium. Social media users questioned the authorities' positive forecasts for the summer season.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel," activists were concerned that the quality of the sand used to fill Anapa's beaches differs markedly from the sand found in the dunes. This could destroy the city's reputation as a resort, activists believe.

Anapa City Council Deputy Oleg Yantsen submitted a request about the quality of water and sand on the beaches, but was denied access. The Krasnodar Krai Office of Rospotrebnadzor clarified that this information is only provided to the government commission. The Federal Office of Rospotrebnadzor called the regional office's response inappropriate, stating that there are no restrictions on publishing such data. However, official reports on the condition of the water and sand are not being published.

Anapa Mayor Svetlana Maslova reported today on the completion of the first section from the Medical Beach to the Bimlyuk Sanatorium on her Telegram channel.

"At least 50 centimeters of clean sand have been filled along a 3.5-kilometer stretch. Work continues on the following sections. This will allow the sandy beaches to be used for recreational and health purposes, subject to compliance with sanitary and epidemiological standards," the mayor's statement read.

Half of the Krasnodar Territory's hotel rooms have already been booked for the summer season, said Irina Petukhova, Deputy Minister of Resorts, Tourism, and Olympic Heritage of the Krasnodar Territory.

"The booking depth along the coast already reaches 2-3 months. The Krasnodar Territory's hotel rooms for the summer are already 50% booked. "Overall, our baseline scenario for summer tourism is around 8.4 million tourists. This is last year's level. The ultimate goal is to reach the 2024 level, which is more than 10 million guests," TASS quotes the official as saying.

According to Petukhova, approximately 600 beaches will be open, including 15 steppe beach areas.

Social media users questioned the authorities' forecasts for the summer season.

The message about hotel reservations was reposted by Anapa bloggers. The author of the "Makovozovy" Telegram channel added in a message that, according to information from his hotelier friends, "June is still slow, July is better, and August in Anapa is completely booked."

"The Ministry of Resorts and Tourism may even be deliberately trying to persuade people to book accommodations and buy tickets faster," Telegram user Lyubov commented on the post. "There won't be the same demand for Anapa as in (20)24," Max is confident.

Typianapa 2.0's Instagram followers also commented on the positive forecasts for summer bookings*. "What resorts? What season?" user _photo_soloveva commented with confusion. "A place for everyone!!!! This season's slogan," wrote irinovikcova.

"Why aren't they punishing people with whips for lying?" he was indignant. igor.time_v. "And what's the situation with the fuel oil spill on the shore?" - asked svetlanka_stoma. "And Sechin will come and bathe in his fuel oil?" - rabbit.1981987 is ironic.

Volunteers called for the organization of sifting sand from clay

According to volunteers from the "Volunteers of the SSL" headquarters, restored beaches need to have their sand sifted to remove stones and large clay particles. "Rich hoteliers do this at home, but it needs to be done everywhere, otherwise this disgrace will never be washed away," the headquarters' statement reads.
