UFA, 29 November 2018. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/. Russian tourists have lost much interest in Egypt during the embargo, the web portal tutu.ru found out. After research, analysts received the following answers. 39% of the polled tourists will not fly to Egypt, even if it is finally “opened”. 36% will agree to buy a tour to Egypt if the prices are as before. Only 9% admitted that they were looking forward to the discovery of this direction and would go there even taking into account the rise in the price of trips. 16% replied that they would wait until the other tourists will come back and share their impressions.

Egypt for Russian tourists was the most popular destination successfully vying with Turkey. The country was "closed" after the crash on October 31, 2015, when a bomb planted at the airport blew A-321 with tourists returning to St. Petersburg. After this tragedy, many travel companies left the Russian market. In 2018, flights between the countries were officially restored, but so far only the Cairo airport has passed the safety tests. Airports of resort cities are to be checked in the spring of 2019. Then a revival of the tourist flow should be expected, experts say.

Now Egypt can be reached through Israel, but tourists should take into account the peculiarities of the border zone passage and, again, increase in the duration of the journey.
