TourDom: a weekly tour to a three-star hotel in Egypt starts from 45 thousand rubles for two tourists. This was told by representatives of Russian travel agencies, writes the portal TourDom.
So, the direction was called the most in demand for Russians, despite the fact that currently the volume of bookings has significantly decreased compared to September and October. In November, the share of requests for tours to Egypt amounted to about 40 percent of the total number of applications.
It became possible to purchase budget tours to the country due to an increase in transportation to the resort. According to experts, the average cost of a weekly voucher for two people with accommodation in a three-star hotel according to the all inclusive system starts from 45 thousand rubles, in the four-star category – from 53 thousand rubles, five stars – from 70-100 thousand rubles.
However, experts warn that the level of service in many Egyptian hotels has decreased, which means that tours to the Arab country may be comparable in cost to the options offered to more expensive destinations. “It turns out that for 170 thousand rubles you can afford both a decent hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh and a four-star hotel in Cuba,” said representatives of the tourism industry.
Earlier it became known about a sharp decline in prices for vacations in Egypt in November – the cost of vouchers fell by half. In addition, it was noted that due to the increased demand for November arrivals and during the New Year period, a shortage of places in the country's hotels began.
