Foreign tourism agencies and fans are looking for alternative accommodation options in Russian cities during next year's World Cup, writes lrytas.lt.
The reason - astronomical prices in hotels of any level.
"Inquiries from various countries are flowing to Russian travel agencies and hotels directly. But until actual orders are mostly unavailable - the majority of potential tourists are deterred by suddenly increased prices," - says a statement from the Russian Tourism Operators Association.
Kaliningrad, located in Lithuania's neighborhood, is currently a record holder in prices.
On June 28 of next year, when England and Belgium national teams will play in the city, a night at a guesthouse costs 18,000 rubles (260 euros) - ten times more expensive than on other days.
