Analysts of the Center conducted a regular monitoring survey at the end of the tourist season and found out where and how the Russians were vacationing this summer. The survey was conducted over the telephone and embraced 1,600 people over the age of 18.
"This year people have been very active in traveling around Russia. The number of those who have visited the country's territories has increased. In general, 71% were satisfied with their travel in Russia, 27% were dissatisfied, 2% found it difficult to answer. First of all, as we see from the survey, people were satisfied with their vacations in Crimea. This is 94% of the respondents. They returned home with very good impressions and brought in a baggage of positive emotions", — K. Rodin said.
As a whole, 46% of Russians answered that despite the epidemiological situation and related restrictions, they spent the summer where they planned. Another 22% answered that their plans had changed, but they managed to make their holidays in other places. And 23% said they decided not to take a vacation.
Among the main advantages of recreation within the country, Russians named nature and climate, the opportunity to learn new things and visit unknown places, and of course, the safety of recreation. "These are three basic components that are dominant in the choice of domestic tourism", — concluded the expert.
