‘Sverdlovsk Region dwellers began booking New Year tours as early as August. Most of them are interested in trips to the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Egypt, and the Czech Republic as usual,’ Wings Travel Club’s manager Oxana Sharipova said to UrBC.

‘At the moment, we can only sell tours to Thailand. A holiday for two will cost about $5,000 on average. Trips to other wintertime destinations will be available a little later,’ she added.
