Russian tourists are ready to travel around the country and surprised with their list of priorities for the coming summer. First of all, the fact that the first place was taken by Crimea, despite its closed airports, which undoubtedly complicates the logistics to its resorts. Such data was shown by a survey of the SuperJob service, in which 3,000 potential tourists took part, or, as the portal defines, “employed representatives of the economically active population from all districts of the country.”
According to the survey, 21% are ready to travel in Russia. This is even slightly more than in February 2021 – then there were 18% of them, and in July of “covid” 2020 only 11%. In the ranking of the most popular destinations this summer, Crimea topped the list, followed by the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, Altai, Baikal and St. Petersburg.
age group – up to 24 years. 23% said so. Recall that only 4% of tourists gathered abroad.
In general, the top 10 destinations in Russia look like this:

- Krasnodar Territory/Sochi
- Altai
- Baikal< /li>
- Saint Petersburg
- Moscow

Recall that, according to tour operators, two factors contribute to the growth in popularity of Russian destinations. Market experts considered the main factor to be “tourists' acceptance of the fact that Russia's southern airports are closed”. “If last spring and early summer tourists still had hope for the resumption of flights to Simferopol and Anapa in the summer season, then this year there are no such expectations. Therefore, everyone who needs to plan trips taking into account the changed logistics. People understand that they will have to get to a number of southern resorts with closed airports by train or car, ”says Sergey Romashkin, general director of the Dolphin tour operator. The second is that rest in Russia is “a stable option in a period of turbulence.” Read the details at this link.
