During the week, sales of tours abroad from Russia fell by 70%. Such information, voiced by the Association of Tour Operators of Russia, was picked up by the Turkish media. At the same time, not surprisingly, Egypt, where flight programs are still forced to close, is overtaking Turkey.
“Sales of international tours from Russia for the week from February 28 to March 6 fell by almost 70 percent compared to the previous week,” – experts say ATOR. The reasons are obvious – first of all, the “unprecedented geopolitical crisis”, due to which most foreign destinations closed their airspace to Russia, as well as the devaluation of the ruble and rising prices for international travel have sharply reduced demand from Russian tourists.
However, there are still optimists in the tourism market – who assume that the bottom has been reached – and in the future the percentage of sales will grow again. However, mostly due to the domestic market, the main decline was in the exit market – and nothing but the fall belongs to him, given the current international situation and the growth of the dollar and euro.
Due to the war, the statistics of the association are as follows – in the first place by the number of surviving sales – domestic tourism, especially domestic resorts. The second place was unexpectedly taken by Egypt – it accounts for 22% of sales. In third place – Turkey, which accounts for 16%. The average cost of trips to Turkey last week was 108 thousand rubles., The average cost of trips to Egypt – about 100 thousand rubles., And in the UAE, which were in the third “exit” place, exceeded 275 thousand rubles.
