First losses of tour operators reach $10 million

Russian tour operators have already lost $10 million since Egypt flights were suspended, the vice president of the Association of Russian Tour Operators, Dmitry Gorin, said.

"Tour operators are in a very difficult situation now. Apart from paying for flights from Egypt, we do not send new tourists [to Egypt] and additionally pay for new flights to Turkey, Cyprus and other countries," TASS cited him as saying.
