According to the network “1001 tour” in sales of package tours for July, Turkey and Russia are leaders. However, in mid-July, the cheapest beach tour with a flight to Sochi is more expensive than the cheapest tour to Turkey. The ATOR analytical service has studied the minimum and average prices for package tours with a departure on July 10-16. Compiled another price rating of destinations.

The ATOR analytical service continues to publish regular analytical reviews with price ratings of popular tourist destinations in Russia and abroad.

Data for analysis, as before, provided by the federal network of travel agencies “1001 tour”.

As before, the comparison is based on the minimum prices of package tours for 10 nights with a flight from Moscow, for two adults. Only offers with meals are taken (for Turkey and Egypt only prices for “all inclusive” are considered), for the rest – the cheapest offers with any type of food (minimum – breakfast).

IN JULY IN THE SEGMENT OF PACKAGE TOURS WITH TURKEY LEADS BY A BIG PARTITION

According to 1001 tours, in mid-July, the share of tourists with children is still more than 60% of all applications. Turkey is the leader among travel packages with flights purchased from travel agencies. It accounts for 57.8% of all bookings of this type.

Tours in Russia with a flight in second place, they are booked by 19.3% of customers. In third place in popularity in July are tours to Egypt (7.8%). The fourth and fifth places with almost equal shares are occupied by UAE (3.7%) and Abkhazia (3.5%)

It should be noted that in general, in the organized market, the shares of Russia and Abkhazia will be higher if all tours are taken (including only booking hotels, without flights), since many tourists within Russia book flights on their own (and to Sochi, from where they go to Abkhazia – too).

WHERE YOU CAN RELAX 10 DAYS AT THE SEA UP TO 100 THOUSAND RUBLES FOR TWO?

In mid-July, a 10-night tour with a flight and meals at sea in early July is cheaper than 100 thousand rubles for two, it is still possible in four countries: Russia, Abkhazia, UAE< /strong> and Turkey (see Table 1). At the same time, in Turkey, the minimum price is already with “all inclusive”.

The leaders in terms of affordability in mid-July, based on the minimum cost for ten-day package tours with flights, are Abkhazia and Kaliningrad (they took prices not for city, but for coastal suburban beach facilities ). You can have a rest for 10 days with a flight for two in both directions for a minimum of 58.2 -59.7 thousand rubles. for two in hotels with breakfast.

At the same time, compared with prices at the end of June – beginning of July, the minimum cost of tours with arrivals in mid-July to Abkhazia increased by 22.5%, and to Kaliningrad – even more. No wonder – this is a common price increase at the very peak of the high season, especially in the Baltic, where the water is already warming up to a comfortable temperature for swimming.

In Crimea, the airport is still closed, and the cheapest a tour without a flight to Crimea for 10 nights with a rest in mid-July in “1001 Tours” can now be bought for only 27.3 thousand rubles. for twowith breakfasts. This is significantly more than it was at the end of June (then it was possible to pay only 17 thousand rubles for a similar tour). Crimea, after a long buildup, has already begun to fill up with tourists quite actively, and you should not count on special cheapness. We published a selection of tours to the Crimea with discounts in verified hotels here.

Prices in 98.5 – 99.2 thousand rubles. for two – minimum for 10 days tours to Turkey and UAE, respectively. Note that in Turkey this price includes all-inclusive meals, and in the UAE – only breakfast. By mid-July (compared to the previous measurement two weeks ago at the end of June), the minimum price bar in Turkey had risen by only 6.5%.

Note that tours to Turkey in good “fives” are at least twice as expensive as the above minimum price for 3 * hotels. About how much a vacation in Turkey will cost this summer for a family of 2,3 and 4 people with a flight from different cities, we wrote in this review.

This is a list of destinations where you can relax in early July for 10 nights with a direct flight cheaper or around 100 thousand rubles. for two, exhausted. Holidays on other popular beach destinations are even more expensive at minimum prices: for example, in Sochi in mid-July, the minimum price of such a tour package with a flight from Moscow is around 109 thousand . R. for two (the minimum bar has almost doubled compared to the end of June, all hotels are packed).

The cheapest tours to Sri Lanka and Egyptt cost 121 and 132 thousand rubles. respectively. They are a little cheaper. The lower price bar for Sri Lanka, compared with the end of June, in mid-July fell immediately by 16.5%, and for Egypt – by 6.5%.
