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."

In his statement to Prime news agency, ATOR Vice President Artur Muradyan emphasized that the increase in tour prices followed a linear course with the increase in the exchange rate, and said, “Airline tickets are now quite expensive and the ticket component has begun to affect the cost of travel. 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.
