'Most people go to Turkey, Tunis, and Europe for holidays this year,’ Director of Avia Tour Travel Agency Ekaterina Khasyanova said to a UrBC reporter.

'Europe is a perfect way to combine rest and sightseeing; Turkey is a good place for a family holiday, given especially the fact that this country offers special entertainment and meals for children. This year, travelers going to Turkey or Tunis are largely staying at five-star hotels,’ Ms Khasyanova said.

'A lot of people keep going to Egypt - a country with a long record of hosting Russian holiday-makers,’ she noted.
