Demand for Russia-bound tours from China increased drastically

08:24, 29 декабря 2014

The falling Russian currency made Chinese tourists booktours to Russia even in winter, reports China Daily.

 

According to China's largest online travel agency, Ctrip.com International, this December, a number of booked trips to Russia has grown 100% when compared to November. The company's spokesperson explains that winter tours to Russia are 60% cheaper than summer ones anyway. And given the recent drop in rouble exchange rate, they have become even more affordable.

 

Another online travel agency, Tongcheng Network Technology, has started selling winter tours to Russia quite recently. But even they report a record-breaking demand - in December the sales went 113% up compared to January this year.

 

Tour operators say that the peak of bookings is most likely to fall on the Chinese New Year celebrated in the second half of February. At some agencies all the tours for this period are already sold out.
