In winter, the cost of traveling abroad to Egypt, Dubai, Thailand and other popular destinations will increase by 10-30%. Among the reasons for the price increase are the exchange rate, the increase in the prices of transport and hotel accommodation.
On average, a weekly vacation in Thailand for two (full board in a four-star hotel) will cost from 235 thousand rubles, in Egypt – from 196 thousand rubles, in the United Arab Emirates – from 160 thousand rubles, in the Maldives – from 300. thousand rubles, broadcast by “Izvestia”.
According to Fun&Sun, the most popular destinations for Russians are Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Egypt. According to Intourist, Sochi, the Maldives and Cuba are also becoming popular winter destinations.
- Russians began booking hotel accommodation in the Russian Federation an average of ten days before their arrival. During the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens bought rooms on their move-in day fearing sudden restrictions. Now tourists fear the lack of quality hotels with the best cost of living in popular destinations.
