The executive director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia, Maya Lomidze, announced this today at a press conference in Moscow.
“We have large wholesalers. Therefore, the cost of a week-long budget holiday with accommodation in a three-star hotel with breakfast and travel by train this summer, even in the high season, was about 15-18 thousand per person. There was not a single analogue in foreign destinations,” Lomidze said.
According to her, vacations can cost Russians even less “if they stay with their grandmother in a chicken coop and travel in a reserved seat.”
“As soon as we reach a higher category: a three-plus hotel, two meals a day, flights, then Europe begins to seriously compete with Russia. It may even turn out to be a little more expensive,” Lomidze said.
