Uzbekistan has emerged as one of the most popular holiday destinations for Russian tourists this spring, with bookings rising by 80%, according to the Association of Tour Operators of Russia.
Excursion tours lasting six to ten days are the most popular choice among Russian travelers. There is also a growing trend toward customized itineraries that include unusual locations or gastronomic experiences, ATOR noted.
Tours to the Central Asian republic have become 5 to 10% more expensive. A standard five-to-six-night tour now costs approximately 70,000 to 80,000 rubles for two people.
