Almost 60% of Russians are not going in the summer to go on vacation. This was reported by analysts of the Bank “Opening”. The remaining 40% of the respondents have a low start and wait for the pandemic to take place, and the authorities will give the nod to travel. However, even the removal of widespread quarantine does not guarantee people a position of rest. Employers are unlikely to want to let go of employees in legal holiday, anyway, in droves. The financial situation of many enterprises is poor and managers in the first place, would send forces all staff to restore business, even if it means to violate the Labor code.
In 2020 the pandemic, the tourism industry is experiencing one of the strongest shocks in the history of the work. As a result of this shaking was covered with a copper basin plans of millions of travelers around the world – including the Russians.
Catherine had planned a may trip to Spain in January. After the official closure of flights between the countries, she realized that the vacation will have to be postponed for an indefinite period and attempted to return the money for the purchased ticket. The travel Agency said that refund is impossible and offered an alternative in the form of a virtual certificate for those 70 thousand rubles, which she made for the trip. Company representatives also advised to change route and date of travel. “How can you plan the journey in terms of the world of quarantine? — asks the interlocutor of “MK”. Even in Russia, the planes practically fly. Well, let’s say I transfer the date of departure on the Costa Brava in August. And if the route is not open and the certificate on fire?”.
“Better a voucher than nothing. Your certificate for your imperfect trip in may, I will spend the July holidays, — says another frustrated tourist Svetlana. — If the flights are not resumed by the time will take August and so on. Sooner or later all this coronariana the situation will be resolved and I can finally get out on the sea.”
According to Svetlana, the greatest concern she raises is the fact that the travel Agency after the pandemic may collapse and become virtual as cash certificate. And in the case of bankruptcy of the company about the refund you can forget all.
After the regime of self-isolation of Russian citizens it will be difficult to plan a vacation, because a lot depends on the epidemiological situation in the regions of the country – and it is always different, says the managing partner of the communications Agency B&C Agency mark Sherman. The same applies to foreign travel: while it is unclear when and which countries will open the border, how will ensure the safety of tourists.
“the Tourism industry will recover slowly and farabout not immediately after the start of air transport. For each country the priority will be domestic tourism: its development requires less transport, enough car movement between regions and railway services. In addition, domestic tourism is cheaper overseas travel, which is also true for the population of the countries affected by the pandemic,” — said the expert.
the Survey is “Open” showed that 27% fear long trips after quarantine, and 8% of respondents are not willing to travel abroad at least a year after the pandemic of fear. Of those who in principle are willing to go on foreign holidays, 13% no money for it.
the Interlocutors “MK” I believe that after the lifting of the isolation regime a pressing matter for the Russians will not leave, and the availability of funds and guarantees to save jobs: for the last month and a half only the official unemployment rate in the country has doubled.
the Holiday for Russians in 2020, when the world has not coped with the pandemic COVID-19, more associated with leisure in the country or, at best, in the resorts of Krasnodar region and the Crimea, said the head of Department of analytical researches “Higher school of financial management” Michael Kogan. “International air service remains closed, and when airlines will be allowed to return to the route network for international flights, travelers will likely have to go through a two week quarantine, including return home,” he said.
the Expert does not exclude the situation that after the official end of the regime of self-isolation and resolution of movement, workers in droves to naprositsya to leave. Only, as they say, who will give them. “Employers are unlikely to meet the employees who shattered the crisis in the financial situation of companies will want to go on vacation,” – said Kogan.
