At the same time, in all the listed cities, regardless of the level of demand for flights, daily rental rates have increased. The only difference is how strong the growth turned out to be. Thus, prices increased most noticeably in Blagoveshchensk, Kaliningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Petrozavodsk and Mineralnye Vody. Irkutsk, Tyumen, Kemerovo and Murmansk showed the lowest rates of price growth. It is noteworthy that in Sochi and Arkhangelsk, where demand for tickets and accommodation has decreased, rates have still increased relative to 2024, although not as much as in other cities.

"The daily rental market continues to grow in activity. Compared to last year, demand increased by 20% nationwide. The variability of trips continues to grow, and Russians are increasingly choosing less popular but promising destinations. However, traditional tourist locations such as the Kaliningrad Region or Altai are also showing significant growth," said the Cian expert.Analysts" Elena Bobrovskaya.

Demand for summer flights in Russia increased by an average of 14% compared to last year, added Ekaterina Dolgikh, head of Avia Marketing at Tutu travel service. She noted that in addition to traditional beach destinations, cities are gaining popularity for historical and cultural, as well as research and expedition tourism.
