Sergei Golov, president of the Association of Travel Agents, said holidays in sanatoriums were “surprisingly” popular among Russians this year. This is explained by the fact that prices for beach holidays have increased significantly this year. explained He is in talks with NSN.
Almost half of the tours to Russia this year were unable to book a holiday at the sanatorium due to overcrowding. The main reason for this is that beach holiday prices will increase by almost 100% compared to 2022.
“There is a shortage of basic accommodation facilities in the resort areas where our sanatoriums are located; they cannot meet all the demand with the number of existing resorts,” Golov said.
He advised those who want to relax in the sanatorium to arrange their holidays six months in advance.
According to a recent study, more than a third of Russians have medical tourism experience. They consider the sanatoriums in the North Caucasus and the Caucasian Mineral Waters to be the best in the country.
Russians before named procedures that people prefer to undergo in sanatoriums.
