Turkey is expected to lead again among the travel packages purchased from travel agencies with a flight, its share even increased – from 57.8% of all bookings of this type in July to 59.7% for tours with a rest in early August. The share of Russia also increased – from 19.3% to 20.0%. The share of Egypt has decreased, and Abkhazia is ahead of the UAE.

Once again, we note that, in general, the shares of Russia and Abkhazia in the organized market will be higher if we take all tours (including only hotel reservations, without flights), since many tourists within Russia book flights on their own (and to Sochi, from where they travel to Abkhazia too).

TWO COUNTRIES WHERE IN AUGUST YOU CAN REST FOR 10 DAYS AT THE SEA OF UP TO 100 THOUSAND. RUBLES FOR TWO

If in mid-July tours for 10 nights with flights and meals were cheaper than for 100 thousand rubles for two, four countries could be bought, then in early August – already only in two (the most cheap tours to Turkey and the UAE cost more than a hundred thousand for two in August).

Abkhazia and Russia (Sochi and Kaliningrad).

Now a 10-night tour to Abkhazia with a flight between 31.07 – 06.08 can be bought for a minimum of 60.8 thousand rubles. for two, (in mid-July there were 58.2 thousand). The starting price for beach Kaliningrad (objects on the coast) has risen a little more – to 64.5 thousand rubles (it was 59.7 thousand rubles).

In Sochi, the minimum price even dropped in early August – offers appeared cheaper than 100 thousand rubles. for two with a flight – from 83.3 thousand rubles (in mid-July, the lower price bar for a ten-day tour was higher, from 109 thousand rubles for two).

In Crimeathe airport is still closed, but the minimum prices continue to rise. If in mid-July the cheapest tour without a flight to Crimea for 10 nights in “1001 Tours” could be bought for 27.3 thousand rubles. for two with breakfast, then at the beginning of August now – only for 32.4 thousand rubles. for two.

By the way, we recently published a selection of tours to Crimea with discounts in proven high-quality hotels here.

HOW MUCH IS THE CHEAPEST TOURS FOR 10 NIGHTS TO TURKEY, UAE, EGYPT AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST

In the category of 100-150 thousand rubles. for a ten-day holiday with a flight in early August, three countries: UAE, Egypt and Turkey(in the last two countries, the minimum price includes all-inclusive meals, and in the UAE – only breakfast).

The increase in starting prices for the UAE amounted to 5.6% in two weeks, respectively, for Egypt – 0%. These destinations in summer are not in the same active demand as Turkey.

In early August (compared to the previous measurement two weeks ago in mid-July), the minimum price bar in Turkey rose by 50%.

Especially for the media, we note: this is not at all “prices for Turkey increased by 50%” (they remained approximately at the same level), but simply earlier in this period, the Russians had already sorted out cheaper offers – demand is so active.

Once again, we remind you that tours to Turkey in good 5 * hotels cost significantly more than the minimum price for 3 * hotels indicated above. 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.

The cheapest ten-day tours to other popular and accessible beach destinations on direct or connecting flights already cost more than 150 thousand rubles. for two (despite the fact that there the minimum price includes only breakfasts, and not “all inclusive”).

The full price picture for the beginning of August can be found in Table 2. below.

NON-BEACH HOLIDAY IN EARLY AUGUST ON THE MAIN BEACH ROAD

In early August, the cheapest tour to the Caucasus Mineral Waters can now be found for only 96.5 thousand rubles. for two with breakfast (again, the prices didn't go up, the cheap offers were sorted out). This is more expensive than beach Sochi or Abkhazia in the same period.

Minimum prices for tours in Uzbekistaneven decreased in two weeks: now the cheapest tour to this country can be bought for 71 thousand rubles. for two (was 92 thousand). It’s a good opportunity to go for maps, by the way.

Yes, it’s time to buy tours for autumn in Uzbekistan (the weather is just the most comfortable there, and tour operators have a block transportation with favorable prices).

From Table 3 (below) and comparing it with mid-July, it can be seen that starting prices for Istanbulin early August, they fell slightly compared to mid-July (relatively cheap offers appeared, but still many beach destinations are cheaper). The minimum prices for holidays in Serbia, on the contrary, have increased (high season, few seats, expensive flights).
