Solo travelers prefer to stay in Russia this summer

Solo travelers, as they did a year ago, mostly stay in their home country: the share of hotel bookings in Russia is 79.6% (it increased by 3% over the year). OneTwoTrip, a travel planning service, analyzed this summer's hotel bookings and found out where Russians who prefer to relax alone have become more likely to travel, and in which cities they are less likely to choose housing. Izvestia got acquainted with the results of the study on July 30.

"Solo travelers began to relax a little less: the average booking period was 2.7 days compared to 2.9 last summer. Single tourists spend an average of 22.6 thousand rubles on housing on the train, and the check increased by 7% over the year," the analysts said.
