Anapa is facing a tourism crisis following a significant oil spill in December 2024, which has contaminated over 50 kilometers of coastline. Family-oriented vacation spots, including spas and children's camps, report a sharp decline in bookings, with cancellations fueled by safety concerns. Russian authorities are struggling to contain the ongoing leak from two damaged tankers, leading to increasing environmental concerns. Reports indicate that over 5,000 tons of low-quality fuel oil are impacting the local ecosystem, and experts criticize the lack of effective cleanup methods despite existing technology available for such incidents since 2002.
A wave of cancellations is sweeping through spas and children's camps in Anapa as pollution from a major oil spill impacts holiday plans for many families.
The oil spill disaster has led to significant declines in bookings for children's recreation facilities, with reports indicating a drop of over 27% in January alone.
