How long does it take for hot tours to appear? What is a hot tour

Predict appearance last minute tours very difficult, but there are certain trends in the decline in prices for tours in different periods of time and you can focus on them. What are last-minute tours and how they are formed, read in the article.

Last Minute Tours to Turkey

Turkey occupies a leading position in the number of proposals for a beautiful vacation at low prices.

In Turkey, the season opens on the May holidays, during this period prices rise, and from mid-May to mid-June is the most “delicious” time to catch a last-minute tour.

The weather during this period is already good, you can sunbathe and swim, only in the evening you may need warm clothes. There are practically no last-minute tours in the high season, this is the time for Turkish hotels, airlines, tour operators and travel agencies to earn money, and no one is in a hurry to drop prices on tours, rather, on the contrary, good tour packages are sorted out in February-April before the start of the tour, and also at good prices. 20% below base prices. it early booking, so to speak, an alternative to last-minute tours, only booking and buying a tour does not take place the day before, but long before it starts.

There is also a drop in prices after September 10 and continues until the end of the season, good weather lasts until October.

Last Minute Tours to Egypt

Tours to Egypt are popular all year round, but prices can vary greatly in different periods of time. Summer in Egypt is quite hot, but because of the dry climate, the heat is easily tolerated. Prices during this period are low and last-minute tours appear periodically, so many tourists prefer Egypt in the summer. In September-October, tour operators transfer charters from Turkey to Egypt and active sales begin here. highest peak last minute tours in Egypt occurs at the end of November - beginning of December. Then, for the New Year holidays, prices skyrocket and tours are sold out in advance. And after January 15, there is again a decline and the appearance of last-minute tours. In February, the unfavorable wind season begins in almost all resorts in Egypt, but there is salvation in the new resort of Marsa Alam, it is located 300 km south of Hurghada and the winds do not "fly" there. Prices for hotels in this resort are "advertising", because. while little is known about it and hotels stimulate demand with low prices, this should be used.

Last Minute Tours to Thailand

A beautiful exotic and developed country in terms of tourism in Southeast Asia. A rich excursion program, unbridled nightlife, a wonderful tropical climate, beautiful beaches and friendly people will not leave indifferent the fastidious tourist. Tours to Thailand are inexpensive, given the duration of the flight and the fact that it makes up the lion's share of the cost of the tour. Last Minute Tours to Thailand there are in early December and in January after the New Year holidays. Very good offers and last minute deals appear in the summer, when the rainy season is considered in Tai, but in fact it is conditional. For example, precipitation in Pattaya mainly falls at night or in the afternoon, and at the same time lasts a maximum of 15 minutes, the rest of the time the sun shines, and the temperature stays 30-35C all year round.

Last minute tours to India offer ample opportunities for inexpensive holidays in an exotic country, usually throughout the entire winter season, which lasts from late September to April, except for the New Year holidays. Summer in India is a season of heavy rains, during this period it is better to refrain from traveling.

Last minute tours to the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is one of the most inexpensive European countries with a huge number of historical sights, ancient castles, winding streets and good food. Sightseeing tours to Prague are popular all year round, but in summer tourists prefer sea holidays, and last-minute tours to Prague are observed during this period. In July 2010, the prices for a tour package were even lower than the cost of air travel, and amounted to about 6-8 thousand rubles per person. And the offer from the tour operator Travelsystem came out 3 weeks before the start of the tour, i.e. there was plenty of time to get a Schengen visa.

Last Minute Tours to Indonesia (Bali)

Despite the fact that Bali is located in Southeast Asia, this resort is not characterized by the rainy season in summer, on the contrary, this is the most favorable period for relaxation. Therefore, prices are high during the high season. And the appearance of last-minute tours is most likely in the winter season from October to April, with the exception of the New Year holidays.

Last minute tours to Spain

Spain is a very popular destination among Russian tourists, because of the abundance of offers, last-minute tours often “pop up” at the beginning of summer in May-June. But the difficulty is that you need a Schengen visa, and it will take 2 weeks to get it for a tour package. Therefore, the offers of last-minute tours to Spain are most relevant for those who already have a Schengen visa. Moreover, they are now giving it out for half a year, thus stimulating repeated trips to the country. Spain is for everyone! Fans of educational tours, beach, family vacations with children, youth and party lovers, as well as a relaxing and romantic vacation!

Last minute tours to Maldives - this is a unique opportunity to get a ticket to paradise at an affordable price. As a rule, last-minute tours are here in the summer. The Maldives is, first of all, stunningly beautiful nature, a variety of flora and fauna. Holidays in the Maldives would not be complete without diving. There are all conditions for training beginners or for professional safari diving divers. A large number of tropical fish, colorful corals, many of which are found in your hotel's house reef.

Last Minute Tours to Dominican Republic

Prefer to relax surrounded by exotic palm trees to the rhythms of merengue? Hotels in the Dominican Republic are represented by the world's best chains with excellent infrastructure and a concept loved by Russian tourists "all inclusive". Last minute tours to the Dominican Republic are from May to September.

A unique opportunity to relax in the Dominican Republic in 5 * was twice cheaper during the earthquake in Haiti. Despite the fact that the Dominican Republic borders on the affected country, this did not affect the tourism industry of the sea resorts of the Dominican Republic, none of the tourists who were on vacation interrupted their vacation. However, the demand for the purchase of vouchers has decreased, the prices for tour packages have fallen significantly.

Last Minute Tours to Vietnam

Prices for tours to Vietnam are not as low as, for example, to Thailand or India, but still there are last-minute tours here. This is due to the emergence of direct flights of Transaero Airlines. About two years ago, direct flights to Vietnam were consolidated by a large multi-profile tour operator Lantatur, but apparently, the loading of aircraft was not complete, and even after a fatal reduction in prices for tours, the flights were canceled. Now tour packages with direct flights to Vietnam are being sold again and there is a chance to “catch” a last-minute tour!

Last minute tours .. this phrase is so hackneyed by travel agencies of all stripes ... Let's see if there are last minute tours and what they are.

During the formation of the package tour market in Russia in the 2000s, there were simply tours - a convenient “package” of flights, accommodation and related services for a carefree vacation for tourists. Then, somewhere and somehow, people managed to find a cheaper tour with the help of a familiar travel agent. As a rule, it was a tour with a departure several days in advance. Such a tour began to be called burning (because of the price and the tight deadlines for making a decision). In pursuit of customers, each travel agency considered it their duty to call their tours burning. This concept is so firmly ingrained in the minds of Russian tourists that non-burning tours have ceased to interest people. At the same time, not all tours that were offered (and are still being offered) to clients of travel agencies under the guise of burning ones are them. It's just to get attention.

The current situation with last-minute tickets

Over time, the IT infrastructure of tour operators began to improve. It became possible to look at prices on the Internet, online services for booking tours appeared. You can catch and buy a really hot tour yourself without getting up from the couch, but distrust of the very concept of a “burning tour” remains.

We declare responsibly - last-minute tours exist

Formation of the price for the tour

Let's start with the basics. The classic tour includes:

round-trip flight;
hotel and meals, if included;
transfer to the hotel;
medical insurance.

All together in a single ticket, these services are formed by the tour operator. Orders charters, negotiates with hotels, organizes transfers and buys insurance for you. To the cost of these services, he also adds his own benefits and agency fees. Agency fee is the cost of its implementation included in the cost of the tour (usually 7-10%). The fact is that the tour operators themselves practically do not sell their tours, it is easier for them to give it to travel agencies. The tour operator simply informs all his agents (travel agencies) about the existence of the tour, and gives the right to sell it for these 7-10%, which go to the travel agent in case of sale.

Online travel agencies are the same travel agencies, but which have automatic interaction with the booking system of tour operators.

How hot tours work and when they appear

So, where does the tour operator save, and when does a last-minute tour appear:

Transfer. The tour operator negotiates with transport companies to transport people from the airport. It costs him very cheaply and practically does not affect the price of the tour.
Medical insurance. Similarly, due to exclusive contracts with insurance companies, the "wholesale" price of insurance is minimal. The contribution of insurance to the total cost is small.
Agent's commission. Each tour operator has its own and, as a rule, fixed. The travel agent can give you a discount from their remuneration, but usually it is a couple of percent; Yes, and this is a reason to think - why does the travel agent give you his own remuneration, is he doing badly?
Hotel. The tour operator negotiates with hotels in advance, redeems quotas, focusing on the expected demand. Due to this, the price of a hotel on a tour for a tour operator can be 30-80% lower than if you booked this hotel yourself. Since the cost of the hotel is a significant part of the tour, there is already a reason for a burning tour to appear.

Example. The tour operator bought all the rooms for the whole season at the N Hotel, as it is waiting for the influx of tourists. For some reason, tours to this hotel (or to the whole destination) are not selling well, and the money has already been paid by the tour operator. In order to somehow compensate for his losses, he reduces the price of a tour to this hotel in order to sell it as soon as possible. It is better to make a small profit than not to make any at all.

Flight. This is where the fun begins, since in most cases the cost of the flight is the lion's share of the cost of the tour. Usually, the tour operator book charter flights or buy entire blocks of seats on regular flights based on the expected influx of tourists. It costs him much less than if you booked the air ticket yourself (and direct booking of seats in charter flights is very rarely available at all).

By the way, that is why there are tours cheaper than air travel. The cost of all services included in the tour for the tour operator is so low (due to wholesale exclusive agreements) that it can be cheaper than flying on a conventional flight.

So, the charter is ordered, the money is paid, and the tours are not selling well, there are still many empty seats on the plane. Of course, it is better to sell the tour at a minimal markup (or even at a loss) than to leave the place empty at all. Add to this the fact that the flight is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It is necessary to close 2-3-5-10 seats on the plane at least at some price, everything is better than nothing. This is where the price drops.

Example. The tour operator ordered a round-trip charter flight for 200 seats for 2 million rubles. The cost of transportation of each passenger is 10,000 rubles. We add here the price of the hotel, transfer, insurance, agency, margin and get a conditional tour for 15 thousand rubles. This is the normal tour price. Anything can happen here: they didn’t guess with the expected flow of tourists, a crisis, another tour operator opened the same direction, a natural disaster, bad news from the country. There are many reasons why demand began to fall. And the tour operator understands that by the time of departure, all 200 seats will not be sold out. The price reduction begins: 14,13,12,11 thousand, and then it may even become less than 10 thousand (cheaper than a flight). The charter has already been bought out, and the tour operator wants to recoup at least part of the funds.

Rejected Tours

With the so-called abandoned tours, everything is almost the same. A person for some reason refuses the tour at the last moment. As a rule, he pays some fine for this, but as a result, his place on the plane and the hotel is released. And the tour operator urgently needs to close the place so as not to lose money. How to do it quickly - right, put a low price. Particularly advantageous offers can be bought within an hour! Everyone is happy!

How to search and book tours

It is convenient to keep track of all the current lowest prices with our website, as we display all the data in real time and inform you about the profitable offers that have appeared.

One thing: a tour can be booked online in 5-10 minutes, and you have a significant speed advantage compared to a regular travel agency.

So what is a hot tour, really? The question of how choose the right and profitably buy a last-minute tour is of interest to many. To make a great purchase it's not enough just to look at offers of last-minute tours. It is worth understanding this concept. Travel Company " Guiding star"maybe tourists in this. Let's dispel 10 myths about last-minute tours.

Myth #1. A hot tour is a tour that tourists bought, but refused to go a few days before departure.

Nobody refused anything. In reality, things are like this: the tour operator pays partners in advance for the components of the tour: air tickets, insurance, transfer, visas (these are constant amounts that make up the cost of the tour). There is another element that forms the price of the tour - this is the price of the hotel. So, in the event that the planned number of seats on the plane is not filled, the company (often at a loss to itself) in recent days reduces the cost of the hotel in order to fill the plane, since all the seats on the flight are paid in advance. So the price falls due to the fact that the operator lowers the price of the hotel. Please note that the price of the tour falls not in a specific company, but in all those cooperating with a specific tour operator.

Myth #2. Cheap is good.

Rest is rest. And believe me, there are hotels that will ruin your vacation, even if you were ready to live in terrible conditions, in order to save money. But upon arrival, you will understand that you should have bought a more expensive tour, then the vacation would have taken place in normal conditions and you would have eaten well. Such hotels, which in fact and the amount you paid, are not worth it in every country. You can view their list on the company's website. Also, every tourist should get acquainted with the reviews about the hotel. But remember that the sweetest can be artificially sweet. Keep in mind that the prices of tours are very dependent on the season.. The hotel where your friends rested in May may not be available for you in August, as it will cost at least twice as much. So beware of the cheapest hotels and those agencies that sell exclusively cheap tours. This means that the company does not care about the quality of your holiday, they just need to sell the tour.

Myth number 3. Before buying, you need to call a lot of companies.

The fact is that travel companies are a kind of shops that sell products of travel operators. So if there is a good tour, then it will be with different agencies at the same time. The range of offers of a travel company can only be expanded through cooperation with several tour operators. And the cost of the same hotel for different operators may be different. So, if you want a large list of offers from which you can choose the perfect tour, go to an agency whose partners are several operators at the same time. For example, a travel company Guiding star» cooperates with 18 operators.

Myth #4. The closer to departure, the cheaper it is.

You should not expect or wish for a company of low demand for a particular flight. If this does not happen, you may end up without a ticket. If you like the price of the tour, don't wait for the last days, book now. And then instead of getting an even lower price, you may generally miss the opportunity to fly there, then from the city that suits you.

Myth number 5. It is not profitable to book in advance.

The fact is that in winter spring tour is much cheaper. Also, if the demand for certain flights is initially high and tickets sell like hot cakes in the last days, when there are single seats left for the flight, travel companies raise the price of these seats. Because they know that they will be bought anyway, as demand is high. If you see a good hotel at a bargain price, know that you are not the only one seeing this offer. And from this it follows that places can be bought, you just take a risk. Book a tour immediately if you like it. Besides, the last to buy expensive and bad hotels.

Myth number 6. I myself (a) will find a tour on the Internet.

It is quite logical that you may ask yourself the following question: "Why can't I find my own tour on the Internet if the managers do the same." And to some extent you are right. You can find out sites where tour agents are looking for, you can learn how to use them, you can even find time to compare prices for tours of different operators. But in order to find the optimal hotel, so that it is really good, it takes many years of experience to confirm that it matches the description in reality. This is all the data, the information that managers collect during their work. So, in order to choose a great tour option, you need to become an experienced manager. Besides, small detail - tour operators are not allowed to sell tours to individuals.

Myth #9. Buying a tour directly from a tour operator is much cheaper.

We return to the last sentence of the previous paragraph. First, it's impossible operators do not cooperate with individuals. How if you bought from Tez Tour? And the fact is that you bought from an authorized agency that sells at the same price as other travel companies. So, it is worth thinking about the honesty of the agency, which tells customers that the tour they bought is being sold by the Tez Tour operator itself.

Myth number 7. You can always think of another day.

Understand that a tour is not a blouse that is sold in a store. The same tour can suit many clients. And since companies sell products of tour operators (as we have already found out), if a tour was bought in one company, it disappears automatically in another company. hurry up buy a great tour.

Myth number 8. The bigger the discount, the cheaper.

Ask not for the size of the discount, but for the final price offered at a discount. Because you can always raise the original price of the tour to increase the discount. For example, there are often situations when a tour, which is inexpensive in our company, is sold at big discounts in many agencies, but the cost is still higher there. How can this be? " Guiding star» is in good relations with its operators, we have a wide range of agreements. This makes it possible to buy a tour cheaper.

Myth No. 10. First, you need to choose a hotel by phone, and then buy a tour to this hotel in the agency.

The fact is that you are flying out a specific hotel is attached to a specific date, which may not suit you. In addition, by the time you get to the travel company, the rooms in this hotel can be sold out. Almost all clients who immediately say which hotel they want to stay in end up buying a tour to another hotel. So be guided by the dates you need, the cost and the package of services that you want to receive.

So, in order to benefit buy a hot tour, you should contact the agency that cooperates with a large number of tour operators. You should also study in advance the list of hotels where it is better not to stay, but do not immediately choose the one where you want to stay. And do not delay the purchase to the last, otherwise you risk losing your tidbit.

Some consider them a great opportunity to relax cheaply, while others are sure that this is a complete scam and exploitation of a sonorous phrase. It would not hurt for both of them to find out what a burning tour is and where to look for it.

A last minute trip is a special offer for a trip, the cost of which is reduced by 5% -50% a few days before departure. You can find last-minute tours in absolutely any direction, from the most affordable offers for a beach holiday in Egypt and weekend bus tours to Europe, and ending with tours to the Maldives and to.

The decrease in cost is due to a completely logical reason - the start of the voucher is approaching, and it is better to sell cheaper than not to sell at all. As a rule, the tour begins to lose in price a week before departure. But there are situations when, for example, there are 3 weeks left, but very few vouchers to a particular hotel have been sold, there are more than enough free rooms. In this case, they can start dropping the price much earlier.

Of course, a large "residue" of unsold tours may be due to the "off season", unpopular type of rooms, not the best location of the hotel and other, quite objective circumstances. In that case, it's really just a loud name. However, if you wish, you can find a last-minute tour to an excellent 5-star hotel for the price of 3 stars.

Advantages of last minute tours

Price. The key "plus" of the burning offer is a significant discount on the ticket.
Choice. Regardless of the season and other factors, it is quite possible to find last-minute tours. So, even if you cannot plan your vacation time in advance, come to a travel agency a few days before it starts, and you can be sure that you will be picked up a last-minute tour with a departure on the dates you need. Problems with vouchers can only arise during the peak season - July and August.
Bonuses. Some tour operators, in addition to the last-minute tour found, provide an additional bonus, for example, a free tour.

Disadvantages of last minute tours

Close departure date. Please note that having bought a last-minute ticket, you will have to leave as soon as possible. Perhaps even the next day. Therefore, agree in advance and settle all matters at work in order to go on a trip without any problems. And if a country needs a visa, especially a Schengen one, resolve this issue in advance.
No money back. Having paid for the last-minute voucher found, you will not be able to return the money back. Regardless of whether you change your mind or decide to refuse for good reasons.
Competition. While you are thinking whether it is worth buying the ticket you like, it may well be “taken away from under the nose” by the same searchers for last-minute tours. Demand here is usually higher than supply;
Quality. In theory, good tours / hotels can also “burn”, but in practice, the best offers (especially during the season) are taken apart at full cost, and less attractive offers get into the “burning” ones. Either the hotel may be great, but the tour dates are "out of season" at the resort.

Where and how to look for last minute tours

There are several ways to find and choose a last minute ticket:

- Contact one or more travel agencies. Employees will acquaint you with the current offers and help you make a choice.
- In the Internet. You can search for last-minute tours on the websites of the same travel agencies or specialized pages that contain various last-minute offers, but it is better to do this without intermediaries, directly on the websites of tour operators, this is where the most up-to-date information is located. Among the proven and reliable

In social networks. Many agencies or private travel agents publish the most “tasty” offers on their pages / groups in social networks. Subscribe to them and catch the ticket you need.

Pick up a tour

If you find a last-minute tour on the tour operator's website, then do not rush to rejoice. You still need to pay for it. You can do this on the same site (if you're lucky and the company accepts payment by card) or you will have to rush at full speed to the nearest travel agency that works with this tour operator. In this case, you need to make sure that the payment will reach the tour operator on time, because the reservation is not yet a 100% guarantee of obtaining the desired tour.

Even if you are going to go on a last minute vacation, start choosing a tour in advance. Study the pricing policy, tour conditions, read about choosing a hotel in order to quickly find the best offer at the right time.

Be sure to check whether travel, accommodation, meals are included in the tour price. In bus tours of European cities, for example, they often "save" on excursions. An attractive price subsequently turns into the need to additionally pay for almost all excursions within the tour. Make sure that the low price is due to the quick departure, and not the lack of certain services.

Read reviews about hotels on forums and specialized sites. Check the number of stars - often tourists on the spot miss one or even two stars at the hotel they paid for. So you can avoid pitfalls and protect yourself from unpleasant surprises on vacation.

A chocolate or other gift to a travel agency employee will most likely stimulate him to “pull out of his sleeve” the most interesting offers.

Friends told how they flew to Cyprus for a week for 15 thousand rubles. I have never been able to buy such a cheap ticket. I can't even believe this is happening.

Please tell us what a hot tour is and how to find it.

A hot tour is a tour with a departure in the coming dates. I’ll tell you why tour operators reduce prices for such tours and where you can find a tour to Europe for 15 thousand rubles.

Why tours are on fire

When tour operators are preparing for the season, they also buy places in hotels in advance. But their forecasts do not always coincide with real consumer demand. If the tour operator fails to sell tours, he reduces their price to cost.

The cost of tours may fall for other reasons. For example, for several years in a row, vouchers to the Dominican Republic in August - September cost 60-100 thousand rubles for two. The usual price is 150-200 thousand rubles. The reason is simple: there are hurricanes in the Caribbean at this time.

Sometimes tour operators resell canceled tours. They appear on sale when a tourist booked a vacation in advance, but could not go. Such options can be found on the pages of travel agencies in social networks.

How much are hot tours

Most often tours burn 1-2 weeks before departure. Usually their duration is 7 days or less. I rarely saw last-minute tours for 10-14 days.

Sometimes last-minute tours are cheaper than a one-way flight. Last year, operators offered five-day tours to Cyprus with breakfasts and dinners costing from 15,000 per person. Tours to China for 8 days cost 22 thousand per person.

Prices for last-minute tours are not so low. For example, in the last days of August 2018, I booked a visa-free Vietnam. 11 days of rest in a good three-star hotel cost tourists 68 thousand rubles for two. The standard price for such a package is 90 thousand. A hotel in Tunisia on the first coastline cost four tourists 115 thousand rubles for 12 days. The usual tour for two adults cost 80 thousand rubles.

Last July, my husband and I rested in Sicily. A weekly tour in a four-star hotel with breakfast and dinner cost 49,500 rubles for two. Without shares, the same package would have cost us 110,000 rubles. The decision to travel had to be made quickly: the ticket appeared 5 days before departure.

Where can you catch a burning tour

There are a lot of cheap tours. Look at the news feeds of aggregators like "Vandruka": an average of 20 offers appear there per day for different dates and directions. But, if you are hoping to fly as cheaply as possible, you must clearly understand: when buying a last-minute tour, you have to choose from what is. At the right moment, there may not be an interesting direction for you. I have seen more than once how tourists plan to fly to the UAE in December, but instead go to cold Cyprus.

In the summer and off-season, tour operators often make big discounts on tours to visa-free countries, such as the Czech Republic or Greece. This option is suitable for tourists who already have a visa in their passport and they can instantly break into a trip. For example, last summer a five-star hotel with a picturesque area on the Italian island of Sardinia cost 70,000 rubles for two. The price included breakfast and dinner. For comparison: at the same time, trips to unremarkable three-star hotels were sold for 100 thousand rubles or more.

How to catch a burning tour

No travel agent can promise you that they will find a cheap tour for certain dates. Availability of tours depends on the planning of tour operators, consumer demand and a dozen other factors. Still, searching for a last-minute tour can require effort and take a lot of time. Not every travel agent is ready to do this, because the commission for a cheap tour is likely to be small.

If you want to look for a tour on your own, I advise you to check the offers two weeks before the expected departure. Usually, last-minute tours are on sale during the day, but it happens that the promotion burns for 20 minutes. Prices change like on the stock exchange - it all depends on the efficiency and mobility of tourists. If you're hoping to fly to Turkey and a cheap tour to Tunisia comes up, it might be worth taking.

The most interesting offers are collected by aggregators. Here are some examples:

Travel agencies and online tour stores: Sletat-ru, Online Tours, Level Travel, Travelata, Travelbelka.
Groups in Vkontakte: "Vandruki" , "Online tour" , "Loukosters" , "Travel Cheap" , "We fly, we travel cheap" , Exchange "Turdom-ru" , "Cheap tickets, tours, promotions."

When buying, remember about changes in the exchange rate. If you see that the cost of the tour in euros or dollars is falling, and the exchange rate is growing, take the tour as soon as possible.

When can I catch a tour

A hot tour is hard to catch during the peak season. Discounts in Thailand are rare in the winter months; they are definitely not to be found on New Year's Eve. Cheap tours to good hotels on the first coastline of Turkey are unlikely to come across in July or August. But every year, operators discount prices for tours with departures on August 27-30, when most tourists with schoolchildren return home.

In tourism, there are not always clear rules - only patterns. I’ll tell you from my experience when and to what destinations you can buy a last-minute tour.

December and January you should pay attention to the resorts where the season ends: the UAE, Israel, Jordan, Bahrain, China. In the winter of 2018-2019, the tour operators Tui, Coral Travel, Sanmar, Anex Tour and "Pegas Touristik" sold weekly tours in these areas costing from 15 thousand per person. Hotels are budget "triples", but the price is still low.

spring trees bloom in Cyprus. It is easy to catch a tour there for 10-15 thousand rubles per person. Swimming is still cold, but you can take a walk in silence in nature.

March - April there are many cheap offers in Sochi costing from 7 thousand rubles per person with flights, accommodation and breakfast. Author T-F At the same time, spring is the peak season in Sochi: in Krasnaya Polyana, everyone skis and snowboards.

Late May - early June come across cheap tours to Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Bulgaria. Sea water temperature: +16…18 ℃.

July August have always been one of the most expensive months to travel. If you want to relax cheaply, focus on last-minute tours for a period of 4-7 days. Typically, such tours are sold for visa destinations, for example, to the Italian Rimini.

New Year, holidays and school holidays. In December, cheap tours are only available with a return a few days before December 31 or January 1. I will give examples from my practice. Here are vouchers at low prices that tourists bought on New Year's Eve.
