Approximately 80% of the tourists from the Venus Romanian resort are Russians from Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Therefore the Russian language had an impressive presence on the Romanian seaside, and has also been present in the menus of the restaurants, the Romanian press reports, cited by Info-Prim Neo. „They started to come three years ago. They are 80% of the tourists from the resort. It’s the Russians’ stations”, a barmen from Venus explained why the menus are bilingual. Indeed, the Russian language is dominating here, just like Romanian is predominant in several Greek resorts. Almost all employees from tourism can speak a few Russian words, and workers with good Russian are in great demand. "Their favorite destination was Bulgaria, yet they stopped on the way”, a tourist company that hosts Belarusian tourists states. They do not go further because the EUR 35 transit tax seems too big and the services on the Romanian seaside are suitable for them, although they may also choose Crimean resorts. Belarusians come with their vehicles for 11 day holidays. The Russians are pickier; they choose charter transport. The accommodations during the peak season cost from USD 350 per person and USD 200 out of season. They all eat in resort cantinas, which are surprisingly cheap, instead they do not go to pubs that much. The director of a company that offer leisure to Russian tourists claims they are good clients, and to greet tourists in their native language is the job of any professional tourist company. The source claims the business is affected by the lack of Russian speaking employees, yet the problem is partially solved by young men from the Republic of Moldova.
