Russians were warned about the lack of last-minute trips to Turkey for the velvet season

Tour operators do not intend to sell last-minute deals to Turkey for the velvet season in 2018, and prices will increase by 10% compared to the same period in 2017. This was stated in the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR).

The Association explained the increase in prices by increasing the cost of fuel for aircraft and reducing subsidies for it from the Turkish government. If last year the average amount of subsidies was 35-40 dollars per tourist, now it will be 10-15 dollars.

ATOR has calculated that the minimum cost of a tour to Turkey for seven nights in September for two adults and a child in a three-star all-inclusive hotel will be 50-55 thousand rubles.

Recall that after the weakening of the lira by 40% since the beginning of the year, prices in Turkey for the next season will be at least 5% more expensive than the current ones, has already stated . ATOR

All settlements with foreign partners are made in dollars. Considering that the dollar has risen in price against the Russian ruble, prices for Turkish resorts may rather rise,” the Association explained.
