"Each employed should think about the fact that if they do not pay remaining, let's say, 1,000 roubles to a worker each month and then buy a voucher to Sochi for 20,000 roubles, the employee will be extremely grateful," he noted at the presentation of the resort city organized for tour operators in the Penza region government on Friday, April 20.

Anatoly Pakhomov reminded that the Sochi authorities had initiated the programme Open South several years ago.

"We suggested employers that all Sochi resorts will offer their services including 3-time meals, accommodation in a standard room and a full range of balneological treatment for 1,300 roubles a day," the city head explained.

Anatoly Pakhomov also expressed the opinion that a person should visit a resort every year.
