Due to the events in Ukraine and other circumstances, the list of foreign resorts will be different. in 2014? This question is now being asked by everyone who would like to spend a vacation abroad. Here is what travel agencies are now saying about this (I give questions and answers taken from Telesem).

What if you want to relax in the Crimea?

It is now possible to get to Crimea by plane or by ferry through Kerch. Currently, a flight there is possible only from eight cities in the country, but soon there will be more;

Resorts and the population of Crimea will make every effort to ensure that the rest there is comfortable and safe, because travel business- this is the main income in those places;

To rent a house in the private sector, you may be able to pay less: in connection with the transition to the Russian currency, prices are likely to decrease. After all, now tour operators will not tie the cost of vouchers to the dollar. So treatment and accommodation in sanatoriums will cost about 2,500 rubles per day.

Should you go to Egypt?

Currently, you can still travel to Egypt, but only in terms of a beach holiday - to swim and sunbathe. And for sightseeing purposes, it is better to choose another country: here you can’t go on excursions yet.

Do I need to have vaccinations and medical insurance before traveling abroad?

It is better to make medical insurance - it is not worth saving on this: in some countries, medical services are very expensive. True, the insurance policy does not help in some cases - insurance can not be treated in every clinic. Be sure to specify which hospitals provide care under your policy;

Vaccinations should be done if an epidemic has been declared in the country where you are going. To find out, check out the site. tourist center country – there should be a warning about the epidemic.

Are there any other hot deals?

There are no last-minute vouchers for a long time, a profitable offer can only be obtained with advance booking. If one tour operator says that the cost of a tour is reduced, find out how much a similar tour costs in other agencies and make your choice.

Which countries are the safest to travel in?

In European. Russians are well treated in countries such as Spain, Croatia,. Cheaper rest will turn out in Bulgaria and Latvia. In Hungary, rest is not only relatively cheap, but also good for health - you can get medical treatment there. And Lithuania attracts vacationers with agro-tourism: there you can live on a farm, learn how to bake bread, milk cows and cook cheese.

Will the growth of the euro and the dollar affect the cost of tours?

Yes, the cost of tours will increase as these currencies rise. But you have the opportunity to save. Buy a ticket now, even if you are going on vacation at the end of summer. By booking early, you can save up to 40%.

Will it be difficult for Russians to obtain visas in 2014 because of the EU's reaction to the Ukrainian events?

On the contrary, many European countries have simplified the procedure for issuing a visa and began to issue multiple-entry visas to citizens of the Russian Federation more often, for example, Latvia. In consulates, Spain and France, for example, Schengen can be obtained in just 3-5 days, and the Spaniards immediately issue a six-month visa at the first request. And at seven Greek islands and you can even relax without a visa.

Hello, friends! The long-awaited summer is coming soon school break. Many of us have already taken care of our summer vacation in winter and booked best options. The main buyers of early booking tours are families with children. And it is clear why: you can choose the best places, and even with good discounts.

Some statistics. According to the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (based on booking requests received since the beginning of the year), the bulk Russian tourists will rest this summer on the beaches of Turkey, Greece and Spain. Bulgaria and Croatia are still popular destinations for family holidays, and Italy is the leader among destinations for sightseeing holidays.

The Oktogo hotel booking service provides the following data (also based on the results of early booking): last summer, Spain, Portugal and Greece, Italy, Germany and France, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Estonia and Finland were on the leaderboard. The most popular Russian cities are St. Petersburg, Moscow, Sochi, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod.

Last year's statistics (September poll All-Russian Center study of public opinion) indicates that out of the total number of respondents - 23% went on tours. Of these, only 4% went abroad, 16% vacationed on the Black Sea coast and in other cities of Russia. The same trend towards an increase in the number of people wishing to relax in their country continues this year.

So how to relax in the summer with children?

What is there to think about. Of course, this is the sea, the sun, beach holidays around the world and fun activities. It remains only to determine best destinations for family holidays. And if a good beach holiday was guaranteed mainly in distant overseas countries and in a couple of countries nearby, then in summer the choice is practically unlimited.

Have you ever wondered how the choice of a place of rest in the family takes place? It seems to me that, nevertheless, in our realities, the main word is up to the parents, because the choice is most often determined by the financial capabilities of the family.

But in the UK it's quite different. The British website HomeAway conducted a survey on who in the family most often decides where to go and what to do on vacation. An interesting statistic: in most cases (65% of British children), this decision is made not by adults, but by their children. I think their parents are not very upset about this.

The priorities of Russian tourists are not changing so quickly. And although most tour operators recognize the resorts of Turkey, Greece and Spain as the favorites of this year, Egypt and Thailand also do not give up their positions.

Summer holidays with children on the Cote d'Azur in the south of France

The best resorts in this region, such as Cannes, Juan-les-Pins, Antibes, Saint-Tropez, Nice with excellent beaches, clear sea, cool summers and fun entertainment, are waiting for vacationers with children.

The Cote d'Azur is simply full of various parks, water parks, attractions, zoos and museums.

In Antibes - a huge marine park Marineland, in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat - a zoo, in Saint-Tropez - Azur Luna Park, in Nice - Botanical Garden Phoenix, in Monaco - the Museum of Oceanography, which was created by the scientist and traveler Jacques-Yves Cousteau, and the Museum of Dolls, the zoological park and the Aquatica water park - in Fréjus.

Well, do not forget about the famous one, which many children and even adults dream of seeing.

Holidays with children in Abkhazia

An attractive and not very expensive destination for a summer family holiday. Prices for vacation compared to last year have not changed or increased in some health resorts quite a bit. Yes, and you can get there without any problems: by train, by plane or by private car.

Resting at home

We often seek to relax abroad. And there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. And here is not only the desire to visit other countries and discover the new and unknown, but also quite pragmatic things: after all, often the prices there are lower, and the level of tourist service is higher.

And yet it's a shame that many of us, having visited overseas resorts more than once, have never left their city. And to see in our country, believe me, there is something to see.

Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sergiev Posad, Kostroma, Veliky Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Baikal, Karelia are just the most popular routes for curious children.

And the new tourist route "Fairy Tale Map of Russia" is an opportunity to introduce children to the habitats of all Russian epic heroes and characters of fairy tales.

Today, 44 tourist “magnets” have already appeared on the fabulous map of Russia: in Rostov - Alyosha Popovich and Tsarevna-Frog, in Moscow and, in the Tver region - Koschey the Immortal, in Pereslavl-Zalessky - Tsar Berendey,. And the Yaroslavl region is a leader in “fairytale tourism”: Vodyanoy and Baba Yaga, Emelya and Kurochka Ryaba, and Toptygin the bear settled here.

By the way, you can visit Santa Claus and his granddaughter Snegurochka in the summer.

Resorts of Crimea

The city is well prepared for the season: more than 200 beaches equipped for comfortable and safe swimming will open this summer.

There would be even more people wishing to relax in Sochi, but expensive air tickets and an insufficient number of direct flights from Russian cities to Sochi (this year their number is 30) are somewhat holding back our tourists from relaxing in this city. Therefore, many passengers have to get to the resort with transfers through Moscow.

Find a tour in Sochi

In addition to Sochi, in the Krasnodar Territory, tourists are waiting for the resorts of Tuapse, Gelendzhik and. They also have something to offer vacationers: 190 sanatoriums, many of which have balneological and mud departments, mineral water drinking pump rooms. For kids - 19 specialized year-round sanatoriums.

Those who will be in Gelendzhik in the first week of June will be in for a surprise. The city will meet the summer with a traditional large-scale and memorable carnival. This is a fun colorful show in which fairy-tale heroes and huge dolls amuse the people and organize a lot of entertainment for children.

Ecotourism in summer in Russia

This direction of recreation with children abroad has long been developed and is very popular. Growing interest in rural recreation and the Russians. The idea of ​​spending the summer outdoors on an eco-farm with a child is a great idea, in my opinion.

This is an opportunity to relax with the whole family in the village or send grandparents with their grandchildren to breathe fresh air, drink fresh milk, swim in a village river, fish at dawn.

And if in such places there is a program for recreation and entertainment for children, for example, mini-zoos, horseback riding lessons - what else could you want. In addition, with such a rest, the risk of acclimatization is minimal.

And it successfully complements the idea of ​​ecological and health-improving children's outdoor recreation.

In a word, there are plenty to choose from. Have a nice holiday!

June, July and August are summer holidays. Schoolchildren are starting vacations, the lucky ones have waited for summer vacation at work, students are making plans for the summer period. The activity of searching for tours in different directions is increasing. Summer is the most traditional period for holidays. The question of where to go on vacation in the summer inexpensively becomes very relevant.
