Anapa, a resort town in Russia, is experiencing a significant drop in tourist bookings and cancellations from children's camps due to contamination from a recent oil spill. The spill is a result of two tankers being damaged in a storm, with substantial leakage of mazut, a hazardous fuel oil. Authorities report that the contamination has affected a large stretch of the coastline, prompting families to reconsider vacation plans. Officials claim there is no effective cleanup method for this type of oil, though experts disagree, highlighting the need for expedited efforts to address the environmental disaster.
A wave of cancellations is sweeping through spas and children's camps in Anapa as pollution from an oil spill drives Russians to abandon holiday plans.
Bookings at Anapa's children's recreation and health retreats have plummeted by more than 27% in January and 40% for the summer due to pollution.
