It is estimated that tourists have time to adapt, and sales will decline in certain destinations due to changes in exchange rates.” ATOR Vice President Artur Muradyan reminded that the dollar and euro exchange rates have increased steadily since May, adding, “Tourists have already adapted to this situation and a certain tolerance has emerged. But the depth of sales has decreased significantly." Raise warning from tour operators Tour operators in Russia warned that international and domestic holiday costs will increase due to the depreciation of ruble.

Even economic destinations such as Egypt, Sri Lanka, Goa will suffer from this.” The expert underlined that the depreciation of the ruble will also negatively affect the number of Russian tourists targeted by countries such as Turkey and Egypt.
