People who prefer to spend their holidays not at home, but in other cities or even countries, sometimes have to choose between Russian and foreign resorts. Both options have pros and cons to consider when choosing a vacation spot. In addition, you must not forget about your own preferences.
Russians often choose to travel abroad. There may be several reasons for this: for example, someone thinks that in other countries the level of resorts is much higher, while someone just likes to travel the world. However, the south of Russia may turn out to be quite a worthy vacation spot. Its main advantage is affordability, as well as, as a rule, low cost of travel. Of course, there are countries where you can stay in a luxury hotel, have a good rest and pay a relatively small amount at the same time, but the cost of air tickets in both directions will significantly increase the overall costs.
While resting in Russia at the southern resorts, you will not face difficulties associated with the language barrier, foreign legislation, the need to obtain special insurance, a passport, a visa, etc. You can easily go to rest on your own, without asking for help from travel agencies and without looking translator or Russian-speaking guide. At the same time, the level of some resorts is very high, so you can have an excellent rest.
Traveling to another country is more troublesome, but also more exciting. You can visit new places, see amazing sights, buy exotic things and souvenirs. Countries such as Turkey, Thailand, and Egypt treat tourists very well, so you can count on hospitality. If you dream of an elite vacation, then you should not go to the south of Russia, but to the prestigious resort areas of Greece, Spain, etc. And, finally, a trip to other countries in winter is an opportunity to swim in the sea and sunbathe when blizzards are raging in Russia …
When choosing between the south of Russia and other countries, take into account your budget, wishes and preferences, as well as the purpose of your vacation, which may include wellness procedures, viewing architectural monuments, exciting excursions, buying certain things, etc.
