According to many travel companies, the latest summer season exceeded the last year’s results, which is also corroborated by statistics: during 2013 the country was visited by about 300 thousand Russian tourists, which is 50 thousand more compared to the last year. However, experts deem it to be only a quantitative index for the market as opposed to a qualitative one.
From 30% to 80% of tourists who bought tours for the New Year holidays merged the holidays with the following weekends – December 30 and 31, as well as January 9 and 10. This means that their holidays will now last for 12-14 days on average. TRN magazine got this information from tour operators that largely benefitted from the government’s order “On moving holidays in 2014”.
