The increase in the number of hotel bookings in St. Petersburg during the SPIEF allows hotels to count on high occupancy, but has not yet led to an increase in prices for accommodation. The cost of a night for forum guests is estimated at an average of 24 thousand rubles, which is 27% less than a year earlier. The main beneficiaries of SPIEF are the objects of the high price segment, while the three-star hotels, on the contrary, may be deprived of tourist groups who refuse to travel to St. Petersburg during the forum.
