If person is going to go on leave and wants to purchase a cheap trip ticket, we advice to forget about this wish. There are no more hot tours. As for airplane tickets and hotel suites, it can be purchased only 1 month before a trip. Such problems have appeared this year, tour operators say. Earlier, 1 or 2 years ago, it was possible to buy ticket and trip ticket the nearest days to make a visit into popular countries like Turkey and Egypt in autumn. Nowadays it is difficult to find trip ticket even 2 weeks before a trip.

First of all, a number of countries with warm weather have decreased greatly in autumn. The demand has continued for Montenegro, Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Greece. Egypt remains a cheap country. But airplanes go rarely there. As for Turkey, there are flights every day.

Tour operators presuppose people have begun to get rid of money until it is depreciated.

Nowadays people prefer to pay more but to have a good rest. As a result, they purchase airplane tickets in advance also, before hotels grant discounts. For instance, tickets for skiing resorts have been already purchased now.

Experts forecast tourist flow will increase into Antalya. A special offer is rather attractive. It is as following: “US $389 for 1 week of rest in the five-star hotel “All inclusive”. In spite of rise in prices, Egypt will remain the most popular sea resort in winter this year. Last year it cost US $300 (hot ticket). Now it costs at least US $500.

Experts expect for rise in price for all directions in air-tourism this year. First of all, it touches upon Europe. Rise in price will be concerned with decision about Ukraine’s joining “Euro zone” for air tickets sale. As a result, service will be paid in Euros now.

As for winter rest in the Catpathian Mountains,it will not rise I price at all except New Year and Christmas offers. 1 week of rest in Bukovel costs US $850-1,030, in Yaremcha – US $250, in Slavsky – US $200-250. If one wants to save money, he can live in Yaremcha and to go skiing in Bukovel.
