good that judy cox actually did something rather than just sitting at home on the air complaining about moral decay across the country hey if a housewife from a small mormon community can stand up to the man what's stopping you but that's just my opinion. if you see if you see friends and they have such different problems and possibilities of economy of economic possibilities the smaller you have to entities the easier and perhaps in a certain way the european union can also learn something from switzerland.

how lovely welcome to venture capital i've come to salty because the fifty one billion dollars price tag has got nearly as much attention as the games themselves so let's just recap on some of those costs for you for the most expensive olympic games in history because it wasn't just solely for sports an entire city was built as you can see just behind me i'm talking entire row it's built from scratch power plants and this is all to be used for decades to come and according to president vladimir putin the price of the sort she eliminates itself is a much more modest six point five billion so that would be the stadiums the ski slopes in pretty much everything sports eight now the big venues have been specifically built to meet the for standards so they can be used again for the twenty eighteen world cup so i've come back a was here in september to see how the

business side of the proceedings has scores. this is where the journey begins the airports of course where all the world leaders the athletes the terrorists make their way for the us thought she experience it's all about first impressions that's exactly why four hundred million u.s. dollars was spent getting this air force up to international standards it was russian billionaire i got a pass company basic elements that forked out the money and told us have a look as you can see it's pure indulgence and a bit of luxury on the go because some champagne of course as you would expect in the business lounge you can also have a cheeky massage oil waiting for your plane and i spoke to. my also about the money being spent on the money being made. i want to know how the plane's been full to capacity. essentially what we see during going into games and increased demand from the business of the human the worker with your future in the airplane. but they.

normally is about sixty and if you can we have up to one hundred twenty in terms of profit you've made more than you imagined to do so is up about. the experiment was to a pretty decent for and then show results of the disadvantage because of democracy much further than we expected to put a number on that. no we haven't counted that's softer than a big games everybody will call it all the positive and negative things will signal against it but what about off the words how we're going to keep those planes full to the brim of people do you think the government can do more to make things like visas easier so that people are enthused to come here you know we're discussing with a russian invasion several initiatives one of them is much easier. in russia and the second one is open there they've been worth more planes easier for them to fly and also more to provide their flights so that's number one the second one that people normally go somebody when they want to sort of this year we have a g. eight summit in the drum it's september eleventh or national such

a summit and in october for. one hundred m. forty thousand people have been making their way to salty i will also a three wait for the local cafes the balsa restaurants what means a lot of disposable income but as you can see the crowds have arrived to say they're all talking a and well it's a lot more money facility to put it is pockets. of the sort you see represents a huge business opportunity for the local economy and it's been completely transformed behind me here you can see the old soviet ports well for the last fifty years russians have been coming on holiday but now it has the capacity to facilitate two big cristiano's as you can see just that as well as one hundred yards and during the olympic games twenty seven thousand people live to air. on the hype is that these thousands of visitors. to make their way back just in the

future for a holiday taking terrorism from three million people a year to sixty million and in terms of job two that would mean tens of thousands of people with employment and much of those jobs will go to the people what only so infrastructure. there is no doubt that the olympics provide huge publicist's say for results not just salty that's why countries compete for years on end to get a hold of the rice there's three billion people watching worldwide that's billions of potential future terrorists of course but the song today is not overly positive we've had some rather unsavory pictures of hightower ohms law also toilet so i caught up with the regional director of the resident hotel group mr thomas hug him and asked him about these great is are the prospects for his hotel. i want to ask you this mr rather unsavory pictures on the internet mainly from journalists we've had toilets and all sorts of hotel rooms unfinished what do you make of that has that affected your business not directly i mean i've seen plenty of these images

and we have talked. with our colleagues but it had not really a direct effect to us we disappointed by that you must've looked at them and thought. to be honest i have not seen any of these pictures myself and i've spoken to a lot of journalists who are involved in dealing picks and it seems to be a bit of it is usual seeing a couple of days before the olympics because all the journalists need to have a story and then they pick something because they have to provide stories yet have your hotel rooms have they been full to capacity have even filling them up we have almost one hundred percent for all of our hotel rooms and we are operating more than two thousand five hundred here so we have been completely game spirit and we tried what can be done to attract people when the games are done and done with maybe advertising campaigns what you intend to do to get people on a plane say well there are two things one is what the hotels can do and we will do

a lot we have a plan for. pics but also what we are missing is a bit more support from the regional government usually if you create a destination like this you have a convention office a convention which. destination marketing in this is what we need to we need to market. in russia and in europe and what kind of a person would come on holiday to. the target market. demain target this. is people from russia i mean it's a main russian market international market and i believe that people have seen so many things. in the interested and. it will come down i'm very very confident with that so we've heard from the hotel industry there all the basis as to what's going to happen to tsotsi so are the investors they're convinced they're going to get their money back and to be fair to salty is well the unique and the you do have

these snowy mountains for the ski isn't just over here today it's passed eighteen by the coastal cluster and you've got the beach so you've got a bit of everything going on but the question is all the one hundred forty thousand visitors that have made their way here in the last three weeks are they going to come back will it go and find out. i'll be honest i've been really moved out of the olympic village. the path that i'm on right now against the black sea here is just absolutely beautiful. the weather is fantastic. it's a challenge i would imagine from a winner on the pic standpoint to have this beautiful weather and have winter olympics here right in our backyard but overall very very nice enjoyed it and i'm here for four more days another show on the other two. spend more time outside because it's going to be great weather and just enjoy what we're doing and what you make of the international press is in fairy negative do you think that's fair no i don't i don't i think it's been pretty generalized. and the people that we've all

been so nice and. it's very welcoming it is yeah press is press i guess do you think so she could be more reasonably priced i do i do but i mean it's the ruble compared to the world currencies what can you do about it would you come back to sochi if there was and the olympics on for a holiday i would love to see this place in the summer i think to be absolutely spectacular this summer. ok so we've heard from the terrorists themselves but i'm now in the presence of a travel and tourism experts martin and hughes you've lived in russia for eight years you've been in sochi for the best part of two weeks as i understand it in and around experiencing the city boy see reality of prices here then tell me let's talk about the airport straightaway. because lots of tourists and visitors who come in here sort of the first time we're talking about the fact that the taxi drivers are real to taken advantage of people coming yes they fight at low which is the main

you know part of the olympic cluster they're charging a thousand rubles say fifteen dollars for what is really just a ten minute journey that's why i was charged actually i must say that the thing is that in london a taxi from heathrow to the center is sixty pounds which is one hundred dollars and of course what taxi is and what business is going to take advantage of the influx of people being here in such a case about russians and people about aids how do their faulty that hangs it resemble an os well i think the average meal is around sort of six to ten dollars so if you were it all really depends what you're used to of course you know it's i . of course i'm what you're what you're enjoying if you live in expensive cities like london moscow scandinavia japan obviously such is going to be cheap i came in on a super high salaries how much you can have paid yourself up in such obviously it depends on the stars but only three that are here in sochi have got you got one start a five star yeah and in fact my hotel is fine so even though there's been many reports yes the toilet took toilets. you know really bad

colored water. the reality is that thomas back the i.o.c. president said that some of the hotels aren't finished but if it's just three percent rice so say three percent there's a ferry to send money into not only three percent i haven't been finished but the every hotel every new hotel has teething troubles regarding price well really you can have everything from bed and breakfasts they've been be here little homestays to five star hotels and resupply. really the western chains with the presidential suite so really you're looking at average from around three thousand rubles paid nights which is around eighty ninety dollars maybe a little less. up to who are. limited smart. travel and tourism joining me here in venture capital you'll. yes thank you so sochi is by no means out the finishing line when it comes to the budget there's

still a huge money mountain to climb to break even and it's going to be a busy year facility because russia is hosting the g eight summit. the formula one race is coming out in august and there's a busy summer season as well for the rockies the results in between or about of course the new economic forum to which i'll be coming back full of its opportunity to come and see if the balance sheet is still holding steady so it is good bye for all such a. wealthy british style. markets why not scandals. find out what's really happening to the global
