The tourist season has entered its active phase. I will continue the story of the healing spas, which began earlier, as long as the promise to return to the topic has already been raised - early booking tours and their comparison with the vouchers to the sea at standard prices.
On the purchase of the shares tours early booking we talked in February. Tour operators vying offers to book a summer holiday with discounts of 30-50%. Then I described the advantages of buying pre-tour: in addition to a good price, it was also a selection of hotels, flights, rates, etc.
In the issue of the blog, we have an example of three popular tourist destinations, tickets for which were sold at the stock early booking. They were the beginning of June, with the "capture" of the festival June 12 - the date on which the demand is always elevated. And, closer to the time of departure, we can see how things have changed according to the tours, what is the price and whether you have all the options. So:
By booking early action on February 2013
Greece, Crete, beach hotel St. Constantin 5* 7 nights / 8 days, meals "all inclusive", from 09 to 16 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 57268 rub. / Visa for two 60 euros; The action before the announcement stop.
Bulgaria, Pomorie beach hotel Via Pontica 5 * 7 nights / 8 days, food "breakfast", from 07 to 14 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 32062 rub. / Visa for two 60 euros; Action to 28.02
Turkey, Kemer, beachfront hotel Club Hotel Phaselis Rose 5* 7 nights / 8 days, food "ultra all inclusive", from 09 to 16 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 62075 rub. / Per couple; Action to 31.03
At the beginning of June 2013 to the standard prices
Greece, Crete, beach hotel St. Constantin 5* 7 nights / 8 days, meals "all inclusive", from 09 to 16 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 66481 rub. / Per couple, Visa 60 Euro;
Bulgaria, Pomorie beach hotel Via Pontica 5 * 7 nights / 8 days, food "breakfast", from 07 to 14 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 39827 rub. / Per couple, Visa 60 Euro;
Turkey, Kemer, beachfront hotel Club Hotel Phaselis Rose 5* 7 nights / 8 days, food "ultra all inclusive", from 09 to 16 June (on the occasion of June 12!), With flight = 72219 rub. / Per couple;
With regard to Greece and Bulgaria, the seats on flights and hotel rooms in the presence of tour operators. But if the tour in Bulgaria is available for instant booking unchanged, the confirmation of a standard room in a Greek hotel (and we gave in February was its cost) will have to wait. Guaranteed same at St. Constantin 5 in Crete can offer superior rooms - Family Room at the price of 68988 rubles. for the tour for two. Based on what little time before departure are likely to have to settle for tourists "Family Room" and a little more to pay for the tour.
But year after year, Turkey has its own record in popularity and value, and the presence of options. So, in our tour is no longer the return flight in the field of economy class, and to fly business class will have to pay for 24,300 rubles. One way for the person. Of course, it is critical to increase the cost of travel, which rose as compared with early booking for more than 10 thousand. Rubles. So on June 9 at a Turkish Club Hotel Phaselis Rose 5 * fly on the imputed price is unlikely - or would have to choose another hotel, or shift the date of the tour.
Maybe it's visas (in our case they are needed for Bulgaria and Greece), while the visa-free Turkey more attractive because of the lack of paperwork. This is especially true of regions that have to send documents for visa at the consulate in Moscow, putting it the extra time and money. And charters to Turkey rise from year to year, even from small towns, which is convenient for tourists (especially with children) - departed from the "hometown airport" and returned to the same, no transplants.
I remind you that the hotels for comparison on a random sample taken from open sources and prices published by the tour operators. Perhaps there are tours and hotels in which the price difference was significantly greater than in the above examples me. This popular hotels, exclusive (represented by only one operator), conceptual, etc. But to understand the benefits of booking early, I think, it turned out clearly. Savings ranged from 16 to 22%, plus air travel to Turkey, which in February for June was enough. Further conclusions do just tourists - to buy a ticket in advance or shortly before departure. In any case, the summer came into law, warmed sea, choice of tours there - it's time to plan a vacation, if you have not had time to do it in advance!
* At the time of writing this issue has information that will be of interest to tourists, travelers, or going on vacation to Turkey. It concerns the unrest occurred in Istanbul in early June. Thus, according to the Federal Tourism Agency of June 04, "The situation in the tourist areas remains calm and stable. However, when visiting Istanbul and other major cities Rosturizm strongly recommends Russian tourists to avoid visiting the areas of demonstrations and other mass public events. " Reasons to refuse tours to Turkey in the Foreign Ministry and the Federal Tourism Agency has not yet found, so just be careful and have a great holiday, sea and sun!
