ATOR named alternatives to a vacation in Cuba for Russians

An alternative to a vacation in Cuba can be tours to Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and Hainan. This was announced on February 12 by Artur Muradyan, Vice President of the Association of Tour Operators (ATOR).

"The range of the Cube is 150-180 thousand [rubles]. Even Hainan gets there with a stretch. Egypt certainly gets there. The Arab Emirates probably end up there. Vietnam gets there with almost a small delta," Muradian said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He also recommended that tourists choose countries with which Russia has direct flights. He also added that the tour operators who sold tours to Cuba should definitely have tours to other similar destinations.

The Island of bad luck: the oil crisis in Cuba is hitting tourism

Despite the difficulties, Russians are not putting off traveling to a Latin American country.

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Rossiya and Nordwind Airlines were forced to make adjustments to the flight program to the island's airports due to difficulties with refueling aircraft in Cuba.

The Efe news agency reported on February 9 that the Cuban authorities, amid the escalating energy crisis, notified air carriers of an imminent shortage of aviation fuel. It was noted that the fuel reserves for aircraft in the country may run out within 24 hours. In some international airports — for a month.
