The day before, the operational headquarters for the fight against coronavirus lifted all restrictions on air traffic with Cyprus, and the state itself softened the entry rules for tourists from March 1.
TUI Russia assured that they would definitely offer tourists tours based on charter transportation, since Cyprus is one of the priority destinations. The first flights are planned to be sent in May.
Week tours to Cyprus in May on charters start from 45 thousand rubles for two adults
Tez Tour notes that Cyprus is already one of the top three most popular destinations for the upcoming summer season. For the May holidays, the demand for holidays on the island has grown by one and a half times compared to the same period of booking in 2020. The tour operator plans to offer tours to the island in the summer season with daily departures from Moscow. In addition, the flight program from the regions is being discussed.
ANEX Tour said that tours with a flight from Moscow to Larnaca by charter flights of AZUR air are available for booking from April 23. The flight program will be organized four times a week until May 18. From May 19 to October 30, daily flights are scheduled.
According to the Association of Tour Operators of Russia, the tour operator "Biblio-Globus" will open the first season in Cyprus. Its flight programs from Moscow to Larnaca will start on March 19th. From the end of April, other major tour operators plan to launch flights.
Charter flights will significantly reduce the cost of tours. TUI notes that weekly tours in May will cost from 45 thousand rubles for two. ANEX Tour offers trips to Cyprus with a departure from Moscow for a week to a three-star hotel with breakfast at a price of 64.9 thousand rubles for two adults. A tour to a four-star hotel will cost from 83,000 rubles for two.
As a result, Cyprus can become one of the most popular summer destinations and compete with Turkey, which now accounts for about 75% of all foreign tours, says Sergei Golov, president of the Union of Travel Agencies. According to the expert, Cyprus will become more popular later, as it is located to the north of Turkey. Prices will also be of great importance, Golov added.
