'This season, most tourists have been heading for Egypt and Turkey,’ Natalia Penkina, Director of Avenue Travel Agency, said to UrBC.

'These countries are well known for their relatively high quality of service, so people who’ve been there once usually recommend these places to their friends and relatives. Besides, the tours are quite affordable, with the average price coming to round about $800. Travelers normally choose to stay at four- and five-star hotels,’ Ms Penkina observed.
