November in Russia is still the good period for dacha works and 5% of respondents will stay out the city for this purpose. And only 2% of all will go to sanatoriums for improving the health.
The biggest number of all - 26% of respondents will stay at home. Some of them are busy with home affairs, others consider the period is too short for traveling.
But the big number of respondents - 21% have answered, that they would think about that period later on. This 21% is the aim for travel agents to supply them with the “last minute” offers to go somewhere.
