Which city has replaced closed Europe for tourists from Russia?
Executive Director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) Maya Lomidze said that Istanbul is in demand.
This city became this year for Russians a “replacement” of sightseeing Europe, which for the most part remains closed for tourists from Russia.
This metropolis in terms of the volume of Russian tourist traffic in December 2021 – March 2022 will confidently overtake Antalya.
Flight charter programs to Turkish Antalya in the winter season 2021-2022 have undergone changes compared to 2020 and 2019. Transportation from the regions has been significantly reduced. This was influenced by Egypt, which changed the picture of winter demand and drew tourist flows on itself, Lomidze said.
At the end of November and until December 26, 2021, to fly to Antalya with tour operators without transfers will be from the airports of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The head of the association stressed that there was no such situation when almost all of December there was not a single flight from the regions.
In fact, the nearest charter flights from the regions will start only on December 26-30 - these are "point" New Year programs. After their completion, on January 10-16, depending on the company, the situation is better. But still, transportation from the regions to Antalya in January, February and March is less than in previous years.”
