After the cancellation of charters and tours, domestic tourists have a question about where to go instead of Turkey and Egypt. Finding an affordable vacation without a visa and with good infrastructure for children is not so easy.
There are many wonderful countries on the world map where you can relax with the whole family. However, many tourists are accustomed to popular resorts where there is no need to worry about visa nuances, Russian-speaking staff and a long flight. That is why it is difficult for domestic travelers to decide where to go instead of Turkey and Egypt, bringing their vacation closer to their favorite All Inclusive package tour.
In winter and spring, Turkey is not intended for a beach holiday, so Cyprus can be an alternative option in the summer and autumn, with the possibility of applying for a local visa online. Greece can compete with Turkey and Egypt in terms of the cost of travel tickets, which has begun to actively introduce the all-inclusive system. However, last-minute tours to this country are impossible due to the need for a Schengen visa. A similar situation is with Bulgaria, where a visa is also required. The beach season is quite short there and does not differ from the resorts of the Black Sea coast. Moving deeper into Europe, you can recommend visa-free Montenegro with the stunning azure coast of the Adriatic.
When asked where to go instead of Turkey and Egypt in winter, one can suggest Vietnam, where some people remember and speak Russian since Soviet times, radiant Thailand or mysterious Cambodia, where the dry season begins. Planning your trip yourself will help you save a lot of money.
Since the resorts of Southeast Asia do not offer an “all inclusive” system, full meals and evening cocktails in the bar are not included in the payment, which means that sooner or later tourists will have to leave the hotel territory. Therefore, you can hurry up in advance, book a plane ticket, choose a hotel and arrange a transfer without overpaying to travel agencies and intermediaries. This option is especially suitable for residents of Siberia and the Far East, from where very profitable charters go, and the flight itself will take a little time.
A less budgetary alternative to Turkey and Egypt can be considered the UAE, the health island of Hainan and the countries of Latin America, so many tourists switch to Jordan, Israel, Morocco and Tunisia, which are more similar in terms of price and vacation conditions. If you still do not want to stay in Russia or waste time on a visa, then you can give preference to rest in the mountainous Abkhazia, Georgia or Armenia, as well as visit the health resorts of Belarus.
