Sergey Golov, President of the Union of Travel Agencies, commented on the news that Qatar entered the TOP among Russian tourists for the first time this winter.
According to him, Qatar has a slightly different pricing policy. “Qatar Airlines has a more democratic approach to pricing. They are doing well, taking advantage of the situation and luring tourists to themselves. The cost is about 30% lower here,” the expert noted.
At the same time, leisure in Qatar is peculiar, since the country is Muslim.
If you can wear European swimsuits on the beach, which belongs to the hotel territory, then certain conditions must be observed when entering the city: the same as in In Iran, women here mostly walk with their heads covered. Travel agents should warn about this, tell about it and properly perform their duties. In 99% of cases, problems arise for travelers who are trying to organize their holidays on their own,” he told NSN.
The expert also noted that there are not so many five-star hotels in Qatar yet, and he would not advise going to a three-star hotel.
Earlier, the news cited the most popular countries for Russians’ beach holidays in early spring.
