Sleeping tour: the Russians learned to organize the rest in a European way?

The habit of early booking has appeared in Russians recently, but has spread among young people and older travelers.

Study Booking: the majority of Russians (44%) plan to rest in advance and book housing for more than a month. 33% think about booking a few weeks before vacation. 15% choose apartments in a week, and the most desperate do it in a day (5%) or on the day of arrival (2%).

- When asked whether they prefer last-minute freedom of booking or the confidence to plan ahead, 71 percent of global travelers said they prefer the second option.

Among the countries where many travelers make decisions shortly before the “X hour”, Germany (40%), the Netherlands (40%), Argentina (38%), Denmark (38%), Sweden (37%) are the closest to Russian realities.

Residents of Taiwan (89%), Hong Kong (82%), Japan (81%), China (79%) and South Korea (77%) plan their trip in advance.

First of all, Russians "disassemble" hotels in Tokyo, Lisbon, Singapore, Budva and Rome. Previously, bookings for the summer end in April, for the winter - in September.

Travelers tried burning tours, confirmed a member of the Public Council under Rostourism E. Sutormina. More than 40% of tourists from Russia monitor prices and book tickets at favorable prices.

Package tours are booked 3-6 months before the arrival date of 36% of travelers. 32% - 1-2 months before arrival.

Typical travelers in the Russian south are men and women aged 33-40. In the summer, the average age decreases: many travel with children. And in the fall, 40 years. The capital is visited mainly by young people from 18 to 34 years.

Every fifth Russian goes on vacation alone. Tour operator tours are popular among young families with children and pensioners. Most often, Russians go on the all inclusive system.
