Foreign passports and documents

Where do the Russians rest. Where the Russians will rest this summer. Heading south

I will make a reservation right away: the phrase "Where to go to rest abroad" implies that the rest should be rich and varied. Otherwise, it's better to buy a box of vodka and go to the country house: it will be cheaper, but the effect is the same.

So, we have considered the item "Nowhere". And now - about where to go on vacation abroad in 2019.


Many now, due to the economic crisis, the fall of the ruble and the rise in the dollar exchange rate, refuse to travel abroad. Some people do this because they really cannot afford to travel abroad in 2019. But many refuse to travel just because they do not know where to go on a budget vacation abroad. But there are many such places! And in this article we will consider three of them - the cheapest, in my opinion (we do not take into account Belarus).

Since we are talking about 2019, when, we will consider only those cities and countries where you can go inexpensively. I present to you three places where to go on vacation abroad in 2019 and not go broke.

Where to go abroad inexpensively in 2019? This photo is one of the options described below.

Option 1: Thailand, Pattaya

One of the advantages of Pattaya is the low prices for food, transport, souvenirs, etc. You can see this by reading the article. Another difference between Pattaya is that it is often cheaper to fly here from many regions of Russia on your own than as part of a package tour.

And to the question "Where to go on vacation from Pattaya", the answer is unequivocal - to the island of Ko Lan! The photo shows one of the best beaches on the island, Tien beach.

Here's what a quick search of the booking systems showed:

Where to go on vacation abroad? Option 2: Laos, Vang Vieng

You may not have heard that in this incomprehensible country you can have a civilized rest. But for me the answer to the question "where to go on vacation abroad at the current ruble exchange rate" is unambiguous: to Laos! And it’s not only about the exchange rate, it’s not for nothing that this country has long been chosen by tourists from Europe, America and South Korea. Yes, Laos has two major drawbacks:

1. Lack of the sea.
2. It is difficult to get there directly.

But this country has two main advantages:

1. Very beautiful nature.
2. Very low prices.

But if you want to see this beautiful nature, you should not go to the capital of the country Vientiane -. Head to the village of Vang Vieng, which is two hundred kilometers from the capital. Moreover, this can be done without visiting Vientiane. You can get to Vang Vieng on a budget like this: buy cheap air tickets to Bangkok, take a bus to the northern Thai town of Nong Khai or Udontani, from where direct buses go to Vang Vieng. Yes, the path is not easy, but believe me: it's worth it! Here are a couple of photos of Wang Vieng to prove it:

Where to go on vacation abroad in 2019 after Turkey and Thailand? Of course, in Vang Vieng! Only there you can swim in this amazing lagoon ...

... and live in hotel with such a beautiful view for mere pennies!

Prices hotels in Vang Vieng not at all high: for 15 dollars a day you can rent an excellent room overlooking the river and the dragon mountains of unearthly beauty. You can choose a hotel in Vang Vieng on different booking systems:

Entertainment in Vang Vieng is also worth mere pennies. For example, a full day kayaking on mountain rivers amid amazing landscapes costs only $ 12! But I will not paint for a long time, because we have a separate article about. By the way, as far as food is concerned, in Laos for a Russian tourist it is even more familiar than Thai. The French colonialists taught them to love rolls and other European food, which they happily cook and sell for mere pennies. Welcome to Laos, friends!

Where to go on vacation abroad? Option 3: Turkey, Antalya

For many, Turkey has always been a country of "seal" rest by the pool or on the hotel beach. But in times of crisis, Turkey is becoming one of the places where to go to rest abroad can also those for whom vacation is a real journey, rich and varied. After all, Turkey is a very interesting country if we go beyond the limits of the olinclusive. Have you seen what mountains are in Turkey? And the waterfalls? And the ancient cities? If not, then it's time to discover this amazing country! You can get to Turkey not only by a package tour: you can find cheap flights from Moscow to Antalya dollars for 300-400 for two round trip, the hotel can be found through the reservation system.

In addition, prices in Turkey are very reasonable for Russians. After all, the rate of the Turkish lira, like the ruble, has also fallen sharply recently. Therefore, if in the same Thailand, in terms of rubles, prices have doubled, then in Turkey - by 30 percent. What is not an argument in favor of Turkey when answering the question "Where to go to rest abroad at the current ruble exchange rate?"

Russian tourists, booking summer vacations this year, are trying to meet the amount of about 60 thousand rubles. for two for a week trip. IN named the most popular resorts of this summer and calculated how much a vacation in one country or another will cost.

Turkey

The country has become the most popular according to the results of summer bookings with the majority of mass tour operators:, "NTK",. Compared to last year, when Turkey was partially closed for organized tourism, the popularity of its resorts has grown significantly. The Turkish tourism business expects the Russian market to recover to the 2015 level.

Russians travel to Turkey for an average of 10 days and prefer five-star all-inclusive hotels. A tour in August costs 84-86 thousand rubles, but it can cost more or less depending on the resort and the class of the hotel. This summer, the most popular destination was the coast of Antalya, where the relatively cheap Kemer is in the lead.

Russian Black Sea resorts

The second place is occupied by rest in the Crimea, in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory and in Abkhazia, which is referred to as domestic tourism. While bookings to these destinations have dropped this year, they remain in the top 5 most popular summer destinations. For those operators who have invested in marketing and promotion of the destination, Russian resorts are leading in terms of the number of bookings - for example, Biblio Globus, through which from January 1 to July 1 at the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory and the Crimea, 536 374 tourists rested, which % more than last year.

Compatriots prefer to go to the beach resorts of Russia for a short time - for 3-7 nights, and most often they choose three- or four-star hotels. Rest costs them 50-60 thousand rubles. for two.

Greece

Greece ranks second to sixth among major tour operators in terms of bookings for the summer, the most popular resorts are the islands of Rhodes and Crete. In Greece, Russians prefer to stay for 10 nights and choose mainly four- and five-star hotels. Rest here costs on average 80-100 thousand rubles.

Cyprus

The island entered the top 5 popular summer destinations - the country is in second place for TUI Russia and Biblio Globus. Ayia Napa is in the lead. 10 days of rest in Cyprus, most often in a 3-4 * hotel, costs an average of 80-100 thousand rubles, as in Greece, but much depends on the resort and the level of the hotel.

Bulgaria

Such resorts as Sunny Beach and Nessebar are leading in Bulgaria: tourists prefer budget hotels and hotels offering all-inclusive vacations and, on average, travel to the country for 10 days.

Montenegro

Most often, tourists are interested in the resort of Budva. ATOR calls the country an anomaly for this summer because of the requested types of accommodation - tourists often ask for private accommodation, and the demand for villas is growing. Four-star hotels are also popular. In Montenegro, they rest the longest - up to 14 nights.

Russians are more actively exploring foreign resorts. According to the official statistics of the Federal Tourism Agency, for 9 months of 2011, 11 million 370,000 Russians went on vacation abroad. This is 11% more than in the same period in 2010. Rostourism has not yet calculated data on departures throughout 2011.

But this information has already been prepared by the countries themselves, where the Russians traveled. The most popular tourist destination among Russians remained Turkey and hardly any state will be able to compete with it in the near future.

According to the official statistics of the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, in 2011 the country was visited by 2 million 714 960 Russians. For comparison, in 2010, 2.4 million Russians visited Turkey for tourism. It is interesting that the Russians in Turkey for the first time in history overtook the Germans in terms of the number of tourists. The gap, however, is small - only 400 people, but the Turks assure that this trend satisfies them. In the end, Russians, even taking into account their favorite all inclusive, spend much more on holidays than Germans.

In second place in popularity among Russians, Spain, which in 2011 was attended by 918 573 guests from Russia. According to the Spanish Institute for Tourism Research, the flow of tourists from Russia compared to 2010 increased by 41.8%.

Catalonia remains the most popular region among Russians - it received almost 60% of the total tourist flow (495,000 people). More than 100,000 Russians (12%) accepted the Canary Islands, followed by the Balearic Islands (85,300 tourists) and Andalusia (60,200).

Closes the top three France... And although the official annual statistics have not yet been calculated there, in the tourist office of France EUROMAG assured that the number of Russians in 2011, according to preliminary data, increased by 20%. Considering that in 2010 France was visited by 680,000 guests from Russia, therefore, last year the tourist flow exceeded 800,000 people.

This is much more than, for example, in Italy,where the official statistics of visits have been calculated so far only for 9 months - during this time 465,268 Russians arrived. Compared to the same period in 2010, the growth was 29%. At the end of the whole year, based on trends, they allow Italy to gain a foothold in fourth position.

But some Italian regions showed record figures for the growth of Russians. For example, 43% more Russians visited Florence in 2011 than in 2010. And the growth of Russian tourist flow to Venice was 45%.

Italy can share fourth place with Czech Republic, which was visited by 569,961 Russians for the whole year. Last year, the flow of tourists from Russia to the Czech Republic has grown significantly: if in 2010 this country was visited by 413,756 Russians, then by the end of 2011 their number increased by 156,000. The growth was almost 38%.

Following the Czechs comes Austria, for which last year was a record for Russian guests. As the magazine was told EUROMAG in the tourist office of Austria, last year the alpine republic was visited by 400 396 Russians, which is 31% more than a year earlier. And the number of overnight stays increased by 25.6%, exceeding 1.5 million.

The Austrians emphasize that Russians are much more likely to visit Austria in the summer than before. For example, the number of overnight stays in Vienna in the summer months increased by 30.4%, but the largest increase was shown by Tyrol - this federal state was visited by 31.1% more Russians over the entire year.

Currently, Russia ranks 11th among other countries in statistics for the number of overnight stays in Austria.

IN Greece Russians began to travel more by almost 37%. The record-setting country for the speed of issuing Schengen visas to Russians (2-3 days) last year received 380,729 Russian tourists (sixth line).

The eternal competitor comes on the heels of Greece - Cyprus... More than 330,000 Russian citizens visited the island over the year, which is almost 100,000 more than in 2010.

Currently, the Russian market for Cyprus is the second largest after Great Britain and, as Cypriots say, in recent years it has "grown by leaps and bounds." For comparison, in 2005 less than 100,000 Russians visited Cyprus. The Cyprus Tourism Organization predicts that in 2012 the number of Russian visitors will exceed 400,000.

Russians also hold the second place in the number of tourists in Estonia - Finns occupy the first line with a huge margin. According to the statistics department of Estonia, last year 203,204 tourists from Russia visited the country. But at the same time, if the growth of tourist flow from Finland amounted to only 1% (Estonia was visited by 841,000 Finns), then the growth of Russians - 43%, and compared to 2009 - 116%.

11% more Russians in Croatia - the Balkan state was visited by about 190,000 people, who made more than 1.6 million overnight stays (+ 8%).

And closes the top ten Switzerland, which last year received 179,168 tourists from Russia, which is 14% more than in 2010. And the number of overnight stays increased by 10% - to 513,700, reported EUROMAG at the Swiss Tourism Office. For comparison, the growth of tourist flow from Russia to Switzerland in 2010 was only 3%, and in the crisis year of 2009 there was a decline of 0.5%.

However, Switzerland could be squeezed Great Britain, which in three quarters received 158,000 Russians. Preliminary data for 2011 will be published in April, the magazine was promised EUROMAG at the Russian office of Visit Britain. In 2010, the United Kingdom received 170,000 Russians in 12 months.

Following the United Kingdom is Norwaywhich grew by 8%. According to the SSB (Statistical Central Bureau), the Scandinavian country was visited by almost 90,000 Russians, who made 186,832 overnights. However, the increase in tourist flow from Russia to Norway in 2011 was significantly less than in 2010, when it increased by 18% at once compared to 2009.

The growth of tourist traffic in Belgium amounted to 33.1% - it was visited by more than 84,000 Russians during the year.

I added and Slovakia: the growth of tourist flow there was almost 30%. The number of Russian tourists increased from 21,425 to 27,776 people who made 105,242 overnights in the country (this is 33% more than in 2010). The average number of days that Russians began to spend in Slovakia also slightly increased - from 3.7 to 3.8.

The leader in terms of the increase in tourist traffic from Russia was Albania... As the Albanian ambassador to Russia Sokol Gioka said at a press conference in Moscow, the flow of tourists from Russia to his country in 2011 increased by 70% - up to 8,000 people.

Germany, according to the German tourist office, in 2011 was visited by almost 20% more Russians than a year ago. They could not give absolute figures, but they assured that Russia was among the ten leaders in terms of the number of tourists, after Holland, Switzerland, USA, Great Britain, Italy, Austria, France, Belgium and Denmark. And in terms of growth dynamics, Russia ranks sixth, following Brazil (23%), India (22%), China (21%), Poland (22%) and Hungary (21%).

Hungary in terms of the number of overnight stays by Russians, it added 21% - 432 715. It is interesting that the Russians set an absolute record in the last month of the year: the number of nights spent by tourists from Russia in December was 26 510, which is 52.7% more. The most visited region of Hungary was Budapest, where Russians spent 255 612 (+ 13.5%) overnight stays.

The Russians also set records in Ireland - for 9 months of 2011, 1215 Russians visited the emerald island for tourism, which is 40% more than in the entire 2010. Apparently, the simplification of the visa regime had an effect (since July, Ireland has been allowing Russians on a British visa).

But at the same time, it is interesting that much more Irish tourists visited Russia - in the first nine months of last year, 5,591 Irish tourists visited Russia (an increase of 21%).

    A lot of Russians come all year round to Pridneprovsky sanatorium which is located in the Gomel region of the Rogachevsky district on the banks of the Dnieper River, they provide good treatment and rest, especially Russians like Rogachvskaya condensed milk, for this sweetness and rest they go there, sometimes there are not even places.

    Russia is huge, everyone has different interests, financial capabilities are also different. Some go abroad, others rest in Russia.

    Those who prefer to spend their vacations by the warm sea go to rest in hot countries or to Russian resorts: to the Crimea, the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, the Azov Sea. Many travel to neighboring Abkhazia.

    Southeast Asia is popular among Russians in recent years: Thailand, China, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Goa (India), etc. Turkey and Egypt are also popular. Among European countries, the most popular are Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Bulgaria, in winter - Finland and ferry cruises to Sweden. Diving enthusiasts rest in the Maldives, surf lovers fly to the Dominican Republic (there is a Russian surfing school, convenient).

    Popular destinations in Russia: Baikal, Altai, Karelia, Kamchatka. This is fishing, mountains, river rafting, geysers. Tours along the Volga, the cities of the Golden Ring, St. Petersburg and Moscow are popular. Many Russians spend their holidays in the country, in tourist centers, in country hotels (boarding houses).

    And where only the Russians do not rest ... from the North Pole - to the exotic Dominican Islands (judging purely by myself).

    We are Russian people, we are adapted to any weather, be it HEAT plus 35 degrees, be it FROST minus 45, we will definitely survive ... and most importantly we are comfortable in any weather, that's why we are Russians ...

    If earlier Russian speech abroad could be heard either at sports events (competitions), and even in emigrant circles, and in the Warsaw Pact countries, now it is not heard practically all over the world. Because now the Russians are resting where their wallet and desires allow them to get: from the Arctic to Antarctica. however, it must be said that many continue to relax at their dachas, because you don't go abroad every weekend.

    In our North-West region, many people like to spend festive days (May, New Year holidays) or just a weekend in neighboring Finland. And there are a sufficient number of such people, so that on the foreseeable day at the border there will be a queue of those who want to leave, and the last day off, those who return to Russia. It comes to the point that some already go to Finland for mushrooms. I will not say that there are any special conditions for the growth of mushrooms, it is just that those who collect these mushrooms there are much less.

    If you take a vacation at sea, then many traditionally prefer to go to the Russian Black Sea coast. Or to the warmer and shallow Azov Sea. And I noticed this peculiarity. There are two categories of people: those who prefer to rest in Crimea and those who travel to the Black Sea in Russia. So, if there is no way to go to your favorite coast or you want to change the place of rest, these people will prefer to go abroad than change Crimea to Sochi or vice versa.

    And the concept of rest is very different for everyone. Someone considers the time that he spent fishing as a rest and will go for this to Finland, the Barents Sea, and maybe even to Kachatka. And someone prefers everything quiet hunt and wanders to the basket in the forest. and this vacation is the best for him. Well, someone does not imagine himself preparing food during his vacation and rest for him is when all inclusive , and accordingly these are boarding houses, sanatoriums and hotels.

    Personally, I don't like eat by the hour; it annoys me. And what kind of rest is this? Therefore, I prefer rooms with cooking facilities, or at least breakfast only. I also do not like the crowd of people standing at the buffet and a large number of compatriots on vacation)).

    Well, the fact that Russians like to relax in Bulgaria, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia, I think, is known to many. Perhaps the bulk of tourists from Russia travel to these destinations.

    In fact, Russians are very fond of relaxing and visiting various resorts and countries. The number of tourists is growing every year. At the moment, the number of Russian tourists to all other countries of the world over the past year amounted to 12 million people. That is, every tenth in Russia. The most visited countries are Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, Israel, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece.

Not sure where to spend your vacation? Has your passport expired? Not enough money for an overseas tour? Bored with exotic camps? If you gave a positive answer to at least one of the listed questions, it's time to think about a vacation in Russia. The uniqueness of the geographical location of the country makes it possible to choose a trip to suit everyone's taste. On the territory of Russia, you can find a healthy alternative to any foreign resorts. Instead of Czech Karlovy Vary, you can improve your health in the sanatoriums of Mineralnye Vody, Pyatigorsk and Zheleznovodsk. The St. Petersburg Hermitage is in no way inferior to the best museums in Europe presented by the exposition, and the famous French Versailles somewhat pales before the ceremonial beauty of Peterhof. Dombay, Khibiny, Altai, Ural, for alpine skiing lovers there are slopes of any difficulty, and the beauty of mountain landscapes is breathtaking no worse than in the Swiss Alps. To all those whose soul is torn to the sea a direct road to the Russian subtropics, to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory.
