Holidays: no cut prices, but many last minute thanks to… Russians!

When bookings explode, it’s obviously good news for tourism professionals. But not necessarily for travelers. Those who haven’t booked yet may be amazed when they see the prices offered for an all-in week in Spain, Turkey or Greece. And those who think that waiting for a last-minute reservation will lower the bill are wrong. The principle is simple, TOs cut their prices when they struggle to sell. This is not the case this year. Good deals will therefore not be for this year, except in rare cases, and with a little luck. On the other hand, there should be room for everyone thanks to the… Russians! Banned from traveling all over the world, Russian tourists will leave a great void in many hotels which will have to replace their contingents via other markets. “There will indeed be fewer Russians in Turkey, mainly, notes Leen Segers, spokesperson for Neckermann. This will make it possible to obtain more places for the Belgians, in particular. even running out of room for everyone so I recommend booking as soon as possible.”
