The off-season − the period from December to March − is considered optimal for health resort treatment for a number of reasons. Firstly, in health resorts, especially those on the sea side, accommodation is available, unlike the summer season. Secondly, prices for recreation in the health resorts are agreeably decreased: depending on the region and the category of the resort, they are reduced from 20 to 50%, the ATOR informed. This is especially noticable in the popular destinations in the south of Russia.

"In the off-season the health resorts of the Krasnodar Territory and Crimea "lose" 40-50% in price compared to the summer preseason, and the main decline in prices happens in November-December. Health institutions in the Stavropol and Altai territories in December reduce prices by an average of 20-25%", — reports the ATOR, citing data from the Medicinal Tourism Association.

According to the information of the ALEAN national tour operator specialists, Crimean health-improving institutions have already reduced prices by almost half compared to the summer season.

"The least occupied period in Crimea is from January to mid-March. At this time some resorts decide to partially close for renovation of the guest rooms", — they added at the company.

Peak of price affordability

According to the market operators, a bigger decline in prices should not be expected in the second half of the winter season.

"Prices have already been formed and there will be no further reduction", — the press service of the Biblio-Globus tour operator informed.

As the representatives of the Medicinal Tourism Association explain, the price list, according to which the health resorts work in December, January and February, is, in fact, the "minimum level". So, it is unlikely that there will be additional special offers during that period.

Accommodation in health resorts is available

In winter you can find an accommodation at any, even the most popular, resort. Exceptions are rare, experts say.

So, for example, in summer, such health resorts as Poltava-Krym (Saki), Krasnaya Talka (Gelendzhik) and Znaniyeh (Sochi) are 100% booked due to sales through the early booking system. In the off-season, you can go on vacation to these resorts without early booking.

According to experts, the demand for health resort accommodation in the organized market is growing steadily, and this trend continues in the low season. Specialists of the Dolphin tour operator say about a 10% increase in demand in the off-season. According to their observations, an increase in demand for SPA leisure is associated with a growth of the target segment of this product. Middle-aged people, young families with children who are interested in wellness and SPA procedures are eager to go to health resorts.
