Kavminvody fur lovers are well-known. Fur markets in Pyatigorsk are as popular as Lermontov places or resorts with radon baths and hydrogen sulfide springs.

Tour operators are smartly inviting to visit the pearl of the Caucasus in order to see all the fur we alth in one day. Do such narrowly focused trips of one day justify themselves? Is the range of fur coats really so wide, and the prices are so low, that a visit to the fur market is worthy of a separate trip? Or maybe fur coat tours are just a tribute to fashion and the result of good advertising? Let's try to put together our own idea of the fur markets in Pyatigorsk.

Fur coat tours as a direction of tourism business

The main purpose of fur coat tours is to visit the factories and markets of Pyatigorsk in order to choose a fur product that differs from its exclusive analogues from branded stores only by a low price. For the purchase of fur products, tour operators offer individual and group routes that leadnot only to the markets (fur coats). There are fur factories in Pyatigorsk that specialize in different types of sales:

• custom tailoring available at Edita;
• retail sales at DANIEL PLUS and EL-EZER;
• wholesale - in "Maria", "Golden Olympus", "Panafix".

Each factory shows the product face to face in showrooms and showrooms. If you plan to visit several factories, it seems more practical to order a “fur coat tour” service from a specialized company. For example, the alliance of large factories Pyatigorsk Fur Association, when ordering a fur coat tour, provides favorable conditions: fixed prices, a large selection, guarantees, purchase of goods on credit and installments. However, there are no markets in the list of fur coat places offered for visiting. Therefore, they should be visited on your own or accompanied by guides who specialize in such market trips.
