The study showed an increase in the popularity of "sleep tourism" among Russians

More than half (52%) of Russians plan vacations to restore sleep, and for 22%, proper rest and getting enough sleep are the main reasons for the trip. This is evidenced by the results of a study of the Onlinetours Premium service, which were reviewed on April 18 by Izvestia.

According to the survey, most people experience chronic sleep deprivation. Only 8% of respondents said that nothing prevents them from sleeping properly. The main causes of sleep disorders were late-night entertainment, including social media and TV series (62%), stress (49%) and work (44%). Gadgets, hobbies, insomnia, and family factors also have an impact.

At the same time, 45% of the survey participants get enough sleep only from time to time, 27% rarely, and 12% experience a constant lack of sleep.

The situation is changing on vacation: more than a third of Russians increase their sleep duration by 1-2 hours, one in five by 3-4 hours, and almost one in five sleeps as much as they want. However, some tourists, on the contrary, reduce their rest time for the sake of an active program.

Excellent reaction: tourists canceled 25% of their trips to Dagestan for the May holidays

Sales will recover by the summer, but the year as a whole may turn out to be a failure, experts say.

Digital detox is becoming a separate trend. About 35% of respondents turn off the Internet during their holidays in order to recover better, while most often a comfortable sleep is noted at seaside resorts and in the natural environment outside the city.

Turkey (21%), Russia (14%) and Egypt (11%) are the leaders among the holiday destinations with an emphasis on sleep. Thailand (10%), European destinations (9%) and neighboring countries (8%) are also among the most popular countries.

To avoid irritants and get enough sleep, Russians choose accommodation away from noisy streets (26%), study reviews from other guests (21%), ask for a "quiet room" (18%), and choose rooms with windows facing the courtyard (11%) and on the upper floors (9%).

On April 16, experts from the online hotel and apartment booking service Ostrovok reported that the number of bookings for the May holidays in Kazan increased by a third compared to last year, in Rybinsk — by a quarter (+24%), in Kostroma — by 22%, in Krasnodar — by 19%, in Yaroslavl — by 16%, in Smolensk — by 15%, in Ryazan — by 12%. In addition, the demand for accommodation is growing most dynamically in China and Abkhazia — by 71% year on year, in Armenia — by 51%, in Turkey — by 43%, in Georgia — by 29%, in Japan — by 12%.
