‘As far as I know 150 people from Chelyabinsk and 15 people from Sverdlovsk Region (Russkiye Kanikuly’s customers) could not get to Turkey due to Vasco de Tour’s recent bankruptcy,’ President of Sverdlovsk Region’s Information and Tourism Center Vadim Viner said to UrBC.

Vasco de Tour, a Turkish tour operator, was reported to have gone bust last Friday. As a result, some 500 Russians (including 120 travelers from Chelyabinsk) could not check in their hotels since the company did not pay for the reservations. Some people from Yekaterinburg were among the unfortunate holidaymakers as well.

‘We are now negotiating with the travel agents who’ve suffered from this bankruptcy and are trying to settle things down,’ Vadim Viner added.
