The increase in tour prices this summer season will be 1.5 times, and the flow of tourists from Russia, due to sanctions and high prices, may fall by 80%. Such a signal was met by Turkish media publications in Russian publications.
In particular, they broadcast that the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) has announced that next summer season prices for tour packages are expected to increase 1.5 times. We will remind, the prices for rounds across Russia, will increase from 51 thousand rubles to 72 thousand rubles. Prices have also been announced for Turkey. According to the service Tralevata.ru, the lowest price of a tour package from Russia to Turkey this summer will be 157 thousand rubles (or $ 2.4 thousand – calculated in Turkey).
The result will be a decline in demand for recreation – fears the Turkish media. They cite an assessment given to Kommersant by Artur Muradyan, vice president of the Russian Tour Operators Association. According to his estimates, due to sanctions and other factors, the number of tourists in Russia may fall by 80%. And at least half of those who go to rest, will prefer domestic tourism.
And it will affect not only the budget segment – fears in Turkey. Next, they cite ATOR statistics, which in April-May fell by almost 70% the number of tourists who prefer suites and business class flights.
