Khabarovsk and Cheboksary have become the most popular among tourists in summer

Khabarovsk became the main travel discovery of this season - the demand for flights there increased by 102.6%. OneTwoTrip, a travel planning service, analyzed flight bookings for the period from June to August and found out which Russian cities have become much more popular this summer. The results of the study were reviewed by Izvestia on July 6.

"A three-star hotel room will cost an average of 4,000 rubles per day this summer. In the warm season in Khabarovsk, you can have a great rest in nature: go on an excursion to the Bolshekhekhtsirsky Nature Reserve, go on a cruise on a motor ship along the Amur River and visit the numerous parks of the city," the analysts said.
