Russia - A trip to Turkey will rise in price by 1.5 times by the summer

Russia (bbabo.net), - The cost of holidays in Turkey will increase by 25-50% from April, as soon as early booking promotions end, the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) reported. Now the highest quality and most expensive hotels are sold out the fastest.

The number of tourists who have already booked tours to Turkey for the summer through the early booking campaign has increased by almost 10 times compared to the same period last year, according to tour operators. The indicators are not yet up to the level of 2019. But the average depth of tour sales in early February for large tour operators is 150-190 days.

ATOR predicted a price increase back in December 2021. If in November 2021 it was possible to book a week-long tour for July at a four-star hotel with breakfast for 52,000 rubles for two, now, according to ATOR, prices for holidays in Turkey for two start at 63,000 rubles.

During the year, hotel prices in Turkey rose by about 10-15%, says Dmitry Gorin, vice president of the Russian Union of Tourism Industry. But if we calculate the cost in rubles, the growth will be greater due to changes in the ruble exchange rate. At the same time, for promotions of early booking, the discount is about 30%. After the end of the action in March, discounts will no longer be valid, the expert explains.

This year, the flow of Russian tourists to Turkey may reach 6.2-6.5 million people and approach pre-pandemic levels, he added.
