The expert spoke about the work of illegal children's camps under cover

Summer camps that are illegally opened on the basis of hotels and boarding houses disguise their offers as themed children's tours with animation, Georgy Mokhov, vice president of the Russian Union of Travel Industry (PCT), founder of the Persona Grata law agency, told Izvestia.

In a healthy business: the demand for children's camps has more than tripled

Holidays in the Krasnodar Territory, Dagestan and the Moscow region are especially popular.

"Summer camps are organized on the basis of hotels, boarding houses and recreation centers that do not want and cannot be registered in the registry, and they disguise their offers as themed children's tours with animation, that is, they try to avoid signs of recreation and recovery of children. The regulatory authorities identify such proposals and fine the organizers," Mokhov said.

He explained that the organization of children's camps is allowed only in registered facilities included in the special regional list of recreation and recreation organizations for children. However, the problem is that there are not enough such camps, and there is nowhere to accommodate groups of children.
