Why are trips from Russia to Egypt cheaper?
Air carriers have increased the number of flights between Moscow and Cairo. Now EgyptAir and Aeroflot operate 5 flights a week on this route.
The cost of air tickets has not changed, but the price of tour packages for Russians favorably affected another factor.
Russians now can not buy package tours with a flight to the resorts EgyptIn addition to tours through Cairo with a land transfer to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, they can be sold in a package version.
“Recently, there has been a decline in the cost of land transfers from Cairo to Red Sea resorts. If earlier their cost for tour operators was $ 270, now the price has fallen to $ 150. A car for 1-3 people one way. Due to the reduction of the transfer price, the cost of a tour package with a flight through Cairo has become much more attractive for tourists, says Ekaterina Gorskaya, head of the Egyptian department of PAX.
Demand for Egypt increased after the price of transfers from Cairo fell.
Tourists many years before the terrorist attack with the Russian airliner used to fly direct charter programs to the resorts of Egypt. And now most of them are not ready to spend 7-8 hours on transfers from Cairo to resorts – this definitely limits the number of people who want to relax in the country as a whole. But with many countries closed to the public, tours to Egypt via Cairo are now selling well.”
Tour operators hope for further growth of tourist flow to Egypt in 2021, its stimulation can help lower prices for air transportation.
