The most popular destinations for the New Year holidays among Russians

According to the tour operator Tez Tour, Hainan Island is one of the most popular destinations for Russian tourists for the upcoming New Year's dates. The number of requests for tours to the southern province of China from the tour operator’s clients for winter holidays dates has already exceeded by 143% the same indicators of the previous year. As Tez Tour experts say, the increased popularity of the destination connects with an increased number of direct flights from Moscow and the largest regional cities of Russia, an active visa-free policy of the region, as well as the climatic features of the Chinese province which allow tourists to relax at the resorts of the island all year round.
