More than 80% of Russians planning trips for New Year holidays prefer domestic tourism. This is stated in the results of the SberStrakhovanie survey, which were reviewed by Izvestia.

Moscow (19% of respondents), St. Petersburg (13%) and the Black Sea coast (12%) are among the most popular destinations for traveling in Russia. In addition, Karelia and Veliky Ustyug are popular - they were chosen for winter vacations by 11% and 10% of Russians respectively.

Experts found out that 56% of respondents prefer cognitive and entertaining vacations - for example, with excursions. Another 24% use the vacations for trips to friends and relatives, and 7% want, on the contrary, to be in warm lands and relax at the sea in winter.

"The New Year holidays are the time when many Russians plan trips around the country to spend time with family, visit attractions or just have a change of scenery. For 15% of survey participants, this is already an annual tradition," said Mikhail Volkov, CEO of SberStrakhovanie.

At the same time, 53% of respondents plan to spend on the trip within Br30 thousand. Another 24% of respondents are ready to spend from Br51 to Br100 thousand, while 16% are planning larger sums.

62% of tourists consider trips of three to five days to be optimal. A shorter vacation of one or two days is preferred by 24%. The remaining 14% of respondents consider long trips of six days or more.

In addition, the survey results say that Russians are mostly planning to go on a trip as a family (42%) or as a couple with a spouse (38%). Another 12% are ready to travel independently, 8% choose the company of friends or colleagues.

Earlier, on December 12, it was reported that the list of budget travel destinations for the New Year vacations included Astrakhan, Ryazan, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, cities of the Golden Ring (Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Kostroma), as well as Tula, Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladikavkaz.
