Vacation forecasts: what awaits Russian tourism in 2021
Since the beginning of 2021, Russians have begun to rapidly book Crimean and Krasnodar hotels. And if, before the outbreak of the epidemic, the reservation of a dwelling was carried out no earlier than a month before, today the majority begin to plan a vacation six months in advance. Statistical data show that in comparison with January, hotel booking prices in Sochi, Crimea and Anapa increased by 20%.Last year's self-isolation encourages domestic tourists to prepare for the long-awaited vacation in advance. In addition, the adopted law on the full compensation of funds in case of booking cancellation gives more confidence and allows you to insure your vacation.
Also, priority tourist destinations are Moscow and St. Petersburg. Due to the fact that quarantine restrictions in St. Petersburg were less stringent in comparison with the capital, the occupancy rate of hotel facilities decreased by only 15% compared to the same period in 2019. In case of normal opening of borders, the influx of foreign guests will allow to return to the previous indicators.
The Moscow hotel business is actively fighting for clients for the coming season, offering vacationers the most favorable conditions. By the beginning of summer, it is predicted that tourist activity in the metropolitan area should increase. Even the number of views of Moscow hotels in April in comparison with January increased by 30%.
Previously unpopular regions began to increase their activity and attractiveness for guests. A special rise in the tourism industry is observed in certain regions, the Ural and Siberian districts. Direct confirmation of this is the restoration of many previously suspended projects for the construction of hotel complexes in the mountains of Khakassia and Chelyabinsk.
Another area that is beginning to gain wide popularity among Russians is the Kaliningrad Region. Domestic tourists regularly check prices and monitor the situation in many areas of the region.
Summing up, we can say that the current crisis with the total closure of borders allowed domestic tourism to gather and build up its assets.
