WHICH ONE IS MORE PREFERABLE?

Social


A1+’s recent survey showed that many Armenians prefer spending New Year’s eve overseas as the prices are comparatively lower abroad.


Travelers can be divided into two groups: well-off and rich people. Well-offs prefer going to European countries, in particular to Italy, Spain, France, etc. The prices in these countries start from $ 400 a day per a person. During the Christmas period the prices go up by 10%.


“Rich travelers leave for Turkey, Cyprus, Greece and Egypt. “These are classical countries, i.e. the prices are more available for Armenians having good income,” said the owner of a tour agency.


A packet for Turkish New Year celebrations for two persons costs $1500 and that of Cyprus € 3300. Though Cyprus is not a winter health resort it is of great demand nowadays. There is even a lack of tickets. The New Year packet to Greece costs $2800 and to Egypt $2500.


Some tour agencies even offer New Year discounts.


Nevertheless, it is due to mention that the prices of Armenian resorts are significantly higher. For instance, if an Aghveran sanatorium voucher cost 23 000 drams in summer now it has gone up by 7000 drams. A packet to Dilijan costs 180 000 drams instead of former 18 000.
