Anex offered tours to the Philippines
The tour operator Anex continues to expand the range of offers - the Philippines has been added to the tours to Nepal, Serbia, Israel and a number of other destinations.
Tours to the Philippines before the “pandemic” were more expensive than to other popular among Russians Southeast Asian countries due to the lack of direct flights. Therefore, there was no mass demand for this resort. Now, prices for many areas have become equal and the Philippines are in approximately the same price category with other Southeast Asian countries.
According to experts, it will still be difficult for the Philippines to compete with Sri Lanka, Vietnam or Thailand due to the lack of direct flights.
The prices offered by Anex for holidays in the Philippines starts from $ 1 780 for two persons with a flight for a weekly vacation. It is lower than the prices for tours to Vietnam.
“Yes, these destinations are different, but the price plays a role. In addition, the Philippines is an extremely rich country with attractions. It has a good hotel base, beaches and nice diving,” Anex explains.
Travel agents are forecasting high demand for the Philippines for the winter season.
“We are not talking about a demand comparable to the demand for Thailand, but the Philippines will get its tourist. Many tourists do not even know that the Philippines is more than affordable resort and more than beautiful. Russians can enter the Philippines without a visa for up to 30 days,” Anex underlines.
Here are examples of prices for tours to the Philippines for two persons for 6 nights with a departure from Moscow in December:
- a tour to a 3* hotel in September is from $ 2 443, flight - Qatar Airways,
- a tour to a 3* hotel in November is from $ 1 890, flight - Etihad Airways,
- a tour to a 3* hotel in December is from $ 1 730, flight - Oman Air.
