Popular tours in summer. World map of the safest countries in the world

Krasnodar region in the 2017 season is the number one destination

MOSCOW, May 30, FederalPress. The most popular tourist destination among Russians in the summer of 2017 is the Krasnodar Territory. This was stated during a briefing at the National News Service (NSN) news agency by Maya Lomidze, executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR).

“Russia leads the list of the most popular tourist destinations. The Krasnodar region is the number one destination in the 2017 season. People go to Sochi. In second place is Crimea. Average price increase per Russian resorts is 15%, and we are seeing some stagnation in demand. I note that last year in Krasnodar region 15 million people had a rest, and if we can repeat the result, the region will receive as many Russians as the total of the 10 most popular foreign resorts,” Lomidze said.

“Türkiye is leading among outbound destinations this year. In second place is Greece, in third is Spain. These two countries can be said to be fighting for second place. Cyprus is in fourth place, Bulgaria is in fifth place,” added the head of ATOR.

According to Lomidze, with the emergence of Turkey on the tourism market, the demand for Tunisia has decreased significantly. However, the country in which it is located ancient city Carthage still remains in the list of the 20 most popular destinations.

It must be said that Türkiye has become the record holder for reducing prices on the tourism market for Russians this year. A country located in two parts of the world at once offered trips cheaper than they once were to Egypt, with which Russia has no direct message. Maya Lomidze cited May as an example, when Turkish resorts you could spend a week for just 10 thousand rubles including meals. Now prices are, of course, higher. On average, a week of vacation will cost around 25–30 thousand rubles per person in a three-star hotel with all-inclusive meals.

“Türkiye has never been as cheap as it is now. True, it is worth noting that our other foreign partners prefer not to increase prices in foreign currency for Russian tourists. For example, the Czech Republic,” Lomidze explained.

The average cost of a week's vacation in the segment organized tourism is 40 thousand rubles. At the same time, the price category is different everywhere - there are tours for both 20 thousand rubles and 60 thousand.

Lomidze notes that demand is growing not only for Turkey. This year, one of the very popular destinations, even in summer, despite the rainy season, is Thailand. Nowadays there is a decline in prices, and people prefer to relax in South-East Asia. Thus, there is a possibility that by the end of the year 1.5 million Russians will vacation there, whereas before the crisis, on average, no more than a million people went there a year.

In addition, demand for the Dominican Republic is growing. This is a fairly low-budget direction. However, the head of ATOR announced an increase in the number of flights to this Caribbean country starting next week.

There is also growth on expensive European routes. Despite the terrorist attack in Manchester and the difficult procedure for obtaining a British visa, the demand for travel around Foggy Albion has increased slightly this year. This is due to the fall in exchange rate national currency Great Britain – pound sterling.

What to do if you want to go somewhere on vacation, but popular tourist routes Can't afford it or are you just bored? It’s worth expanding your boundaries and discovering new ones interesting places where you can go. Traveling to these countries will allow you not only to get out of your comfort zone, but also to look at the world in a completely different way. Here are 14 destinations that are just starting to gain popularity among tourists.

The safest countries in Europe for tourists from Russia have been named

The safest countries for tourists are Estonia, the Czech Republic and Germany, Izvestia reports.

The insurance company SG SOGAZ conducted a study, according to which Estonia turned out to be the safest for Russian tourists. This is where Russian tourists are least likely to seek medical help.

It is believed that most insurance cases occur in Bulgaria, Thailand and other popular resorts among Russians. However, this is a very rough estimate, since most Russians travel to these countries. And in in this case The principle works - the more people there are, the more unpleasant incidents there are. The SOGAZ company for the first time tried to assess the safety of certain countries based on the frequency of requests for medical insurance policies from those traveling abroad.

In the first half of the year, the insurer recorded 560 cases of tourist claims due to illnesses, poisonings, injuries and other medical reasons. Policies with worldwide coverage were not taken into account in the calculations. The final list of the study included 25 states, in which a total of 17 thousand policies were sold in the first half of the year.

According to the study, tourists who vacation in the Baltics are least at risk. Estonia became the safest country for Russian tourists. Only 0.5% of tourists (that is, one person out of 200 vacationers) sought medical help in this country. The Czech Republic took second place in the ranking, where the risk barely exceeds 1% (1.13%). An almost similar situation is in Germany, which closes the top 3 safest tourist countries, - only 1.22% of tourists seek medical care. And this despite the fact that these states are among the most popular destinations among Russian tourists.

The list of countries with a low risk for Russians also included Slovakia (1.40%), Portugal (2.05%), Serbia (2.37%), Norway (2.86%), Switzerland (3.15%), Italy (3.32%). Hungary closes the top ten safest countries for Russians in the Old World, where the frequency of calls is 3.49%.

According to Dmitry Yanin, Chairman of the Board of the International Confederation of Consumer Societies, there are four factors that influence the traumatic nature of vacations. Hygiene in the host country (quality of food and water) influences National cuisine, which may taste unusual, hot climate and plenty of sun, as well as alcohol.

The less sun, the fewer problems. In Asia, food is a risk factor. There are problems with both its quality and the quality of water. In addition, in hot countries there are also quite extreme beach activities. In Estonia there is little sun, the cuisine is close to us, such a favorable situation, and most importantly, there is no all-inclusive system with alcohol. If you drink less, you get injured less,” explained Dmitry Yanin.
