With the new infrastructure in place, the Sochi riegon will most definitely not be abandoned after 2014. It was a popular tourist resort even during USSR times and apart from still being that, it will host the Russian Formula 1 Grand Prix from 2014 to 2020, the football world cup in 2018, many winter sport events (bandy, ice hockey, skiing) etc. I’d say that the riegon is in fact entering a new prosperous era if anything, at least as far as tourism goes.
