What new tours have become popular and in demand among Russians?
Russians discover a new format of travel – tours with concerts, festivals, sports and other events.
Whereas Russians used to go to Europe for various events (and organize such trips themselves), now the “event” flow has changed direction.
For festivals, concerts and various events, tourists mainly go to the countries of the Persian Gulf (UAE, Qatar), Turkey and the countries of the post-Soviet space. And they purchase tour packages for such purposes or buy tickets for various foreign events from tour operators.
“We have already successfully sold tours to events in Baku and Yerevan, now, among other things, we sell tours to the Tarkan concert, which will be in Tashkent in November,” said Anna Filatovskaya, Director of the Advertising and PR Department of the Russian Express tour operator.
The tour operator Spectrum adds concerts in Turkey, Montenegro and Serbia, which were actively booked in the summer. In Space Travel talk about the popularity of various events in the UAE.
Intourist says there is growing interest in events in South Korea.
The main types of events abroad that interest our compatriots are concerts and sports events. Among the second are the stages of Formula 1, football matches, wrestling competitions.
The tour to the event is similar to a standard city tour for 3-4 days. The tour operator booked a hotel for tourists, trying to offer options located near the concert venue.
Tours: the day of arrival, the day of departure, the day of the concert, and, if desired, another day goes on independent acquaintance with the city or excursions. The tour also includes the cheapest entrance ticket for the event (but if desired, the tourist can pay for a ticket of another class) and a transfer from the hotel to the concert.
There are also examples when tourists have already bought tickets for the event themselves, and the tour operator is asked for help with the organization of logistics (flight, transfer, hotel).
ATOR Vice President Artur Muradyan says that in the case of cultural events, a popular option is when tourists who have already planned a vacation in a country add to it a visit to the event, buying tickets and transfers from the tour operator.
