Egypt: We only dream of peace

In Russia, a ban on the sale of tours in EgyptThis led to an increase in the cost of travel to all destinations. Already, the average cost of tours has increased by 10-15%, and closer to the summer, an increase of 25-40% is projected.

Egypt is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Russia. Only Turkey can be compared with it. Therefore, the closure of this direction has hit all Russian tour operators very hard, and now they are forced to raise prices for other destinations. But it is possible that in this case there may be cases of speculation, when tour operators will artificially inflate prices.

As you know, the sale of tickets to Egypt was suspended a week ago. Egypt will be replaced by Egypt ThailandUAE, Israel and Goa. On February 1, a weekly tour to Egypt could cost $ 600-700, while, for example, to the island of Phuket - $ 1,700-2000, to Bangkok - $ 1,100-1,300, in the UAE - $ 1,100-1,300.

But it is possible that the tourism sector will soon recover from the blow. Already, Egyptian hotels are willing to work at a loss to bring back tourists, and promise discounts on accommodation over 40%. After all, as soon as the last remaining tourists are taken out of Egypt, all hotels will be temporarily closed, and staff will be sent on untimely vacation. Therefore, hoteliers are already trying to ensure their business is able to stay afloat.

Political events are in no hurry to please, because the President of Egypt refused to resign and hopes to resolve the situation without leaving the post, which fundamentally does not suit the protesters. The next presidential election will not be held in Egypt until September. Apparently, the situation in this country will worry the world community for a long time.
