Greece, Spain Attracted Russians Trippers in May

According to ATOR Analytical Service the number of the requests for Turkey in May 2011 decreased by almost one third in comparison with the same period of last year. But then the number of the requests for Greece increased almost by one third and for Spain by 22 percent.

38 percent of the requests fell on Turkey; however, it was for 9 percent less than a share indicator of May 2010. Such factor shows that a lot of reservations of Turkey for the summer period were made thanks to the early booking offers in March and April. The general number of requests for Turkey decreased almost by one third from May 2010.

Nevertheless, it didn’t prevent Turkey from outstripping Greece and Egypt in demand in May. They had a share of more than 11 percent of the requests. Spain which took the 4th place had a share of 7.5 percent of the requests.

The interest in Cyprus has grown as well. The share of May 2011 amounted to 4.3 percent (+1 percent in comparison with May 2010). Bulgaria had a 4 percent share of the requests (3.7 percent in 2010). It’s interesting that Thailand had a share of 3 percent and that was in two times more than in May 2010.

Italy had a share of 2.7 percent (1.9 percent in 2010), Croatia - 2.2 percent of the requests (2.4 percent in 2010) and Montenegro - 2.2 percent (1.7 percent in 2010). The share of the other countries that were not included in TOP 10 amounted to 13.6 percent of the requests (9.6 percent in 2010).
