Sanction by the west against Russia is an opportunity for tourism, and arrivals by British or American visitors are showing results.

While Washington is expanding its sanctions against Moscow and Kiev is threatening to penalize all foreign ships calling at Crimea, American and British tourists are enjoying their vacations on the peninsula.

In June and July 2015, 31 tourist yachts visited Crimea, including 11 vessels from the US and seven from the UK, the Russian Border Guard Service reported.
