This encourages them and the tour operators, who are obliged to meet the needs of potential customers, to plan their vacation according to the new standards. Leading travel companies in 2017 offer travelers the best replacement for previously relevant tours. In this article we will tell you about the current tourist destinations in 2017.

Bulgaria

This country is in no way inferior to Turkey in terms of the amount of sunlight. In addition, more loyal prices for goods and a homely atmosphere of relaxation are attractive.

These are far from all the benefits. The country is loved by tourists due to the absence of a language barrier, a wide variety of entertainment for any age category, and the prices for souvenirs and other paraphernalia will be affordable for everyone.

In addition, flights to Bulgaria are regularly operated from almost every international airport in Russia, and obtaining a Bulgarian tourist visa is not at all difficult.

Montenegro

Montenegro is an economical yet luxurious beach holiday on the Adriatic. These places are characterized by Orthodox monasteries, many historical monuments of the medieval era, an abundance of lakes and national parks. It is impossible not to mention the charming capital of Podgorica and the resort of Budva.

Possessing a miniature size, the country has received great demand among lovers of inexpensive rest in silence, alone with nature, and its similarity with the Crimean peninsula makes Montenegro more dear to the heart and truly comfortable. A trip to this country is ideal for people seeking to relax in a relaxed atmosphere, as well as families with small children.

Romania

There are at least four reasons why you should visit this European country.

Romania has something for every traveler. First of all, every tourist should ride along the Transfagarash highway, passing through the Carpathians. Next, you have to reveal all the secrets that are hidden in the castle of Count Dracula, and appreciate its magnificence. Then you can visit the reserve near the town of Buzau, where tourists will see dwarf mud volcanoes with their own eyes. And finally, the underground Romanian sanatorium "Salina Turda", located in a salt mine, cannot be missed. It has a lot of real labyrinths. After the tour, it is recommended to visit a spa or take a ride on a small boat on the waters of an underground lake.

Abkhazia

In recent years, the number of Russian tourists visiting Abkhazia has increased significantly. The country is distinguished by an abundance of unique places with natural wildlife, and its sea is perfectly clean, well-groomed coastal zone is divided into spacious pebble beaches.

Holidays in this country are more than diverse due to its distant history, full of many significant events. In addition to entertainment on the water, lovers of archeology and history will appreciate Abkhazia, for whom exciting excursions to the remarkable places of the Caucasus are organized. It is impossible to talk about the country without tasting its gourmet cuisine with its characteristic spicy dishes, as well as wine products.

Rest in Abkhazia will only benefit thanks to the sanatorium-resort complexes of this republic. It is especially worth visiting the balneological resort areas, which are distinguished by the healing properties of mineral waters and the presence of mud baths.

Georgia

The popularity of Georgia among Russian tourists is growing rapidly, as the country really has something to show. Only here you can see with your own eyes the ancient monasteries of Mtskheta, the cave city of Uplistsikhe, sulfur baths and many other amazing historical monuments.

Tbilisi, which is distinguished by miniature streets, sulfur baths, luxurious cathedrals and theaters, is one of the largest cities in the country. It is also recommended to visit the ancient Kutaisi, which served as the capital of the Colchis kingdom. Batumi combines ancient architecture with a seaside resort, equipped in the best modern traditions.

Georgia has over two thousand sources of healing mineral and thermal waters, mud baths and magnetite sands that eradicate many ailments.

Additional pluses include the fact that a trip lasting up to three months does not require a visa, and regular flights from Russia will allow you to start your vacation faster.

Cyprus

In the upcoming season of summer resorts, it will rightfully take first place in the ranking of the most popular destinations among Russian residents. This is expressed by the fact that the flight there is quite fast, the prices for various kinds of services are acceptable. You can quickly apply for an e-visa and enjoy a truly amazing, and most importantly, varied and eventful vacation.

Cyprus provides a lot of entertainment for every taste. The resort "Nissi Beach" is specially created for active and mobile youth. For the perfect family holiday, head to Protaras to Fig Tree Bay.

China

When it comes to China, everything in this country is striking in its size. Everyone is well aware of the Great Wall of China and the terracotta army, numbering 8,000 soldiers. Among the major regions of the country are: Hong Kong, Tibet, Macau and Taiwan. Here you can see huge megacities, concrete glazed skyscrapers, try both beach and ski resorts in China, or improve your health in the best medical and health centers.

Krasnodar Territory in the season of 2017 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 news agency "National News Service" (NSN), Executive Director of the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) Maya Lomidze.

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

“Turkey is the leader 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. On the fourth - Cyprus, on the fifth - Bulgaria,” added the head of ATOR.

According to Lomidze, with the advent of Turkey in the tourist market, the demand for Tunisia has significantly decreased. Nevertheless, the country in which the ancient city of Carthage is located still remains in the list of the 20 most popular destinations.

It must be said that Turkey has become the record holder for lower prices in the tourist market for Russians this year. A country located in two parts of the world at once offered trips cheaper than they used to be to Egypt, with which Russia has no direct communication. Maya Lomidze cited May as an example, when it was possible to spend a week in Turkish resorts for only 10,000 rubles with meals. Now, of course, the prices are higher. On average, a week of rest will cost around 25-30 thousand rubles per person in a three-star hotel with all-inclusive meals.

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

The average cost of a weekly vacation in the segment of 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. Now prices are dropping, and people prefer to relax in Southeast Asia. Thus, it is likely that by the end of the year 1.5 million Russians will have a rest there, while 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 rather low-budget destination. Nevertheless, the head of ATOR announced an increase in the number of flights to this Caribbean country from next week.

Growth is also observed in expensive European destinations. Despite the terrorist attack in Manchester and the complicated procedure for obtaining a British visa, the demand for a trip to Foggy Albion has increased slightly this year. This is due to the depreciation of the national currency of Great Britain - the pound sterling.
