FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Where is the event held and how do I get there from the airport?
The venue is the Movenpick Resort and Spa Anapa on the Black Sea coast. The closest airport is Anapa Vityazevo (AAQ), roughly 15 km from the town centre, with a taxi ride of about 20-30 minutes. Krasnodar Pashkovsky (KRR) is about 170 km away and Sochi Adler (AER) about 300 km, so most visitors fly to AAQ and continue by taxi or pre-booked transfer.
Who exhibits and what can buyers source?
Exhibitors cover the coastal leisure and resort supply chain: yachts, motorboats and jet skis, marine engines and navigation, marina and pontoon equipment, water-sports gear such as SUP and kitesurf, beach furniture and sunshades, spa and pool equipment, hotel FF&E, resort food and beverage supply, and tourism services from DMCs and regional tourism boards.
Is the event open to trade visitors only or also to the public?
Access categories are set by the organiser and can differ between sessions. Register through the official schedule page in the category that matches your role - buyer, exhibitor, press or guest - and check whether any sessions are open to the public before you travel.
Do I need a visa to travel to Anapa, Russia?
Most non-CIS nationals need a Russian visa. Eligible nationalities can apply for an e-visa online before travel. Check the current rules with the Russian consular service for your passport, allow at least several weeks for processing, and make sure your passport is valid for the required period beyond your return date.
What is the weather like in Anapa in February?
February is off-season on the Black Sea coast. Daytime temperatures typically sit between -1 C and +6 C, with night-time frosts, about 40-60 mm of rain or wet snow over the month, and strong onshore winds that make it feel colder. Bring a waterproof coat, warm layers and shoes suitable for wet pavements.
Where should I stay near the venue?
The seeded hotel set includes Otel Eurasia, IL MARE, Otel Turgenev, Otel Avtor and Otel AVDALLINI DJEMETE, all in Anapa with three-star amenities such as breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking and beach access. Book early for hosted buyer groups and confirm the walking or taxi distance to the resort venue before you commit.
What language is used at the event and in Anapa?
Russian is the working language in Anapa and at most sessions. Some exhibitors and organisers provide English-speaking staff and materials, but a translated business card, a phrase sheet and a Russian-language version of your product one-pager will help with resort and marina buyers.
How do I pay for taxis, parking and small purchases on site?
The local currency is the Russian rouble. Carry some cash for small vendors, beach-area services and parking, and keep a card for hotels and larger exhibitors. Ride-hailing and card acceptance vary, so confirm payment options before you rely on a single method.
Can I combine the trip with a site visit to a marina or resort project?
Anapa and the wider Krasnodar Krai coast have marina, beach-club and resort projects within a short drive of the venue. Ask exhibitors or the organiser about site visits during the show week, and allow a full day for travel to Novorossiysk or Sochi if you plan to extend the trip.
What should I wear and how should I plan my days?
Smart-casual business wear with warm, waterproof outer layers is the practical choice for February. Plan two full days for the halls, book meetings in advance with the exhibitors on your shortlist, and leave the final afternoon for follow-ups with marina and resort procurement contacts.
