Approximately one-third of Russians are expected to splurge up to 100,000 rubles on their summer getaways this year.
In a survey conducted by the "Kupibilet" service, it was revealed that for most Russians (37%), the main expenses during their summer vacation are accommodation, dining out, and staying in cafes and restaurants, as well as accommodation in hotels and apartments. Additionally, a significant proportion (29%) have a vacation budget ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.
Furthermore, about one-fourth of respondents (26%) plan to spend more than 200,000 rubles on their vacation, while only 16% plan to stay within a budget of up to 50,000 rubles. Transportation expenses, including flights, are also important to vacationers, with 35% noting these costs as a significant factor.
The cost of beach holidays was the focus of a comparison between Sochi and Gelendzhik, with a blogger comparing the two popular destinations. However, specific data on how much Russians are planning to spend on average for their summer vacations in 2021 was not provided in the survey results.
It is worth noting that while there is information on outbound tourism volumes and spending for Russia, no direct survey data on the average planned summer vacation spending and main expense categories for 2021 was found. Common expenses for Russian summer vacations typically include transportation (flights, trains, or car travel), accommodation, food and dining, leisure activities, and travel insurance.
Despite the lack of precise figures or survey results, it is clear that summer vacation is an important and often significant expense for Russians. The survey results indicate a diverse range of budgets and spending habits, with some Russians planning to allocate larger amounts for their vacations.
People planning their summer vacations in Russia might find personal-finance management crucial, as the survey results showed that transportation, accommodation, dining, and leisure activities can significantly impact their lifestyle expenses. Some Russians might even allocate substantial sums, up to 200,000 rubles, for their travel-associated expenditures, while others might have a more moderate budget, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.
