Experts – about where you can fly to now and what will happen to traveling next.

The situation in the tourism industry is changing not by the day, but by the hour. Not so long ago it was difficult for travelers to go abroad because of the coronavirus. After a while everything stabilized, but not for long. Now there are new difficulties – most countries have closed the airspace. Still, many people do not lose hope of finding a peaceful place to catch their breath. We asked the experts where to go.

The situation in the world of tourism is constantly changing. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict anything even for the next few days.

What about prices?

Within the framework of domestic tourism prices are likely to be built in accordance with the economic situation, mainly in the direction of tourists – from 60 thousand rubles and above (including flight). As for foreign destinations, the cost of a trip may increase several times due to the frenzy of excitement. Unfortunately, such a situation is already observed. For example, prices for a ticket to Turkey have increased five times. The reason is not only the popularity of the country’s resorts. The fact is that Russians who are stuck in Europe are now forced to get home via Istanbul.

What will happen next?

Everyone – both independent travelers and travel agencies – will have to adapt to the new realities. Keep an eye on the market and plan trips taking into account the changes. Our experts say that Russians will have several popular vacation destinations. Among foreign ones – Egypt, Turkey and the UAE – resorts that are not so difficult to get to. Tour operators will also focus on domestic tourism, such as Sochi, Baikal, Kaliningrad. It will be possible to go to Europe only by transit.

Tatiana: Contrary to the alarming news from the world of aviation, there is no question of canceling Schengen visas. On the contrary, for example, Italian visa centers have resumed their work in Russia and issuing tourist visas since March 1. If you really need to get to Europe, those who have learned from the pandemic already know that the main hub for Russians in the crisis is Istanbul. Especially since the number of flights there has increased in recent days. But there are still covid restrictions there – entry by PCR tests.
