Krasnodar Territory in the 2017 season is the number one direction
MOSCOW, May 30, FederalPress. The most popular tourist destination among Russians in the summer of 2017 is the Krasnodar Territory. Maya Lomidze, executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR), announced this during a briefing at the National News Service (NSN) news agency.
“Russia is leading in the list of the most popular tourist destinations... Krasnodar Territory in the 2017 season is the number one direction. People go to Sochi. In second place is Crimea. The average price increase for Russian resorts is 15%, and we are seeing some stagnation in demand. I will note that last year in Krasnodar Territory 15 million people had a rest, and if we manage to repeat the result, the region will receive as many Russians as the 10 most popular foreign resorts in aggregate, ”Lomidze said.
“Turkey is the leader among outbound destinations this year. In second place is Greece, in third place is Spain. These two countries, one might say, are fighting for the second place. On the fourth - Cyprus, on the fifth - Bulgaria ", - added the head of ATOR.
According to Lomidze, with the advent of Turkey in the tourism market, the demand for Tunisia has significantly decreased. However, the country where the ancient city Carthage is still on the list of the 20 most popular destinations.
It must be said that Turkey has become the record holder for lower prices in the tourist market for Russians this year. A country located in two parts of the world at once offered vouchers cheaper than they once were to Egypt, with which Russia has no direct connection. Maya Lomidze cited May as an example, when on Turkish resorts one could spend a week for only 10 thousand rubles with meals. Now the prices are, of course, higher. On average, a week of rest will cost around 25-30 thousand rubles per person in a three-star hotel with all-inclusive meals.
“Turkey has never been as cheap as it is now. However, it should be noted that our other foreign partners prefer not to raise prices in foreign currency for Russian tourists. For example, the Czech Republic, ”Lomidze explained.
The average cost of a weekly vacation in the segment of organized tourism is 40 thousand rubles. At the same time, the price category is different everywhere - there are tours for both 20 thousand rubles and 60 thousand.
Lomidze notes that demand is growing not only for Turkey. This year, Thailand is one of the very popular destinations even in summer, despite the rainy season. Now, prices are declining, and people prefer to relax in South-East Asia... Thus, it is likely that 1.5 million Russians will have a rest there by the end of the year, whereas before the crisis, on average, no more than a million people went there a year.
In addition, the demand for Dominican Republic... This is a fairly non-budget direction. Nevertheless, the head of ATOR announced an increase in the number of flights to this Caribbean country from next week.
Growth is also observed on expensive European routes. Despite the terrorist attack in Manchester and the complicated procedure for obtaining a British visa, the demand for travel through foggy Albion has grown slightly this year. This is due to the fall in the rate of the national currency of Great Britain - the pound sterling.
