The Federation Council proposed to limit mass children’s vacations abroad after the incident in Turkey

Member of the Constitutional Committee of the Federation Council Alexander Bashkin proposed to limit mass children’s vacations abroad after the incident in Turkey, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier it was reported that Russian children were evicted from a hotel in Turkish Kemer. Later, most of them returned home on several flights. As noted, in a number of cases, plane tickets had to be bought again and at their own expense, since representatives of the Hummingbird camp, where the children were resting, stopped communicating and answering calls. In total, more than 70 children and counselors rested in the camp, now 20 children and 4 accompanying persons remain in Turkey. The children arrived at the camp on July 26, after which there were problems with payment. The children were reportedly awakened at night and driven out into the street.

Bashkin wondered whether it was worth organizing mass children’s holidays abroad given the large choice of places for holidays in Russia, as well as the possibility of serious legislative protection of children’s holidays and the interests of children.

“Enough to travel around Turkey, Egypt, other countries: take money out of the country, when you can have a great rest for every taste in the Russian Federation,” he said.

Bashkin noted that resting in Russia would be economically more profitable for families, while the Russian tourism industry would receive support, moreover, such a vacation would be educational and safe.

He noted that an incident similar to what happened in Turkey is impossible in Russia.
