According to experts, the current situation on the Russian tourist market will contribute to the active development of domestic tourism. It is more active work with the Russian tourist destinations will be one of the directions of diversification of the business of tour operators.
According to the head of Internet reservation service for hotels GEOID Yuri Strizhak, a chain of bankruptcies tour operators was the result of sanctions and a reduction in the flow of tourists, coming to rest abroad. According to Yuri strigata, it is narrowly focused operation with the European developments has been the vulnerability of the tourist companies. Firstly, there has been a sharp change in the exchange rate of the ruble against the Euro and the dollar, which has made problematic the payment of prisoners in the spring of contracts with European hotels and airlines. Secondly, impose sanctions led to a psychological effect, when significant part of Russians is beginning to travel abroad with caution and canceled a planned vacation or replaced destination in Russia. The reduction in tourist flow abroad is not allowed many operators to support working capital and as a consequence, to perform fully its obligations to the hotels and airlines. Work with Russia would allow tour operators to protect themselves from the so-called currency risk associated with the possibility of further reduction of the ruble against the Euro and the U.S. Dollar, as well as through the diversification of the tourist flow to reduce the risks associated with a further deterioration of our country's relations with the EU.
"It is worth noting that almost none of which suspended its activities this summer tour operators did not work with Russia, - says Yuri Strizhak, head of service of hotel reservations in Russia GEOID, otherwise they would have a chance to redirect the flows of tourists and to reduce its effects on the tourism market. The downturn in the market of outbound tourism occurs simultaneously with the rapid growth of domestic destinations and we now clearly perceived. This growth, if the operators worked with the internal market, could compensate for the existing problems. I think many tour operators are now actively engaged in the development of Russian destinations. Though largely overlooked, and the main growth in the domestic tourism market now will not occur in the segment of organized recreation, and in the field independently of tourism".
