The postponement of the cheese festival in Kostroma caused confusion and dismay among the townspeople and visitors to the center of the region, a Novosti44 correspondent reported.
Let us remind you that the event was previously announced for July 1 and 2, and then suddenly postponed to June 29 and 30. On the same dates, the city will hold Youth Day.
“Apparently, the organizers first looked at the calendar for the wrong year – they planned the festival for the weekdays. Then they changed their mind and moved it for the weekend. I hope none of the tourists will suffer – it is unlikely that they booked hotels and tickets in advance for the festival, whose program was not seen until the last minutes, as they say, “shared the journalist -blogger Olga Eflova has her opinion on this. thing.
The blogger believes that the tactics of conducting activities chosen by the relevant department of the Department of Economy are not effective. In his opinion, the festivals should be “stretched according to the calendar”, and not be held in the summer months, when hotels and restaurants are already crowded.
“Instead, like all the banal officials in other cities, using the experience of the world and the voice of wise business owners – inventing and conducting events not for a long time, but development of events according to the calendar so that hotels, restaurants, museums, tours The guides are equally busy as possible for many months of the year – the department puts all the holidays in the long season,
if the hotels are busy even if they are not. This is an original tactic, and this is not the first year that we follow it. Why, I think? It is if you have a secret mission to reduce the flow of tourists that God protects! So that people who know about the activity in Kostroma want to go and not find shelter here. Or cut off all the “rogues” who are looking for a pattern reasonable price. Well, only those who can afford to pay for a luxury room come – they are usually available during the high season,” he added.
