This Paris Airport Has Cheaper Flights But It Will Have You Landing Nearly 50 Miles Out Of The City

Tour to the Caribbean for the New Year holidays can still be booked

12/22/2022

Tour operators record high demand for New Year Caribbean. There are few places left in vacation trips to the resorts of Cuba and Venezuela, but there are still chances to book a tour. We tell you about free departure dates and tour cost packages .

WHAT FLIGHTS TO VENEZUELA AND CUBA ARE STILL AVAILABLE ON

This winter season, Russians can fly direct flights to Cuba and Venezuela. Flight programs from Moscow to the Cuban resorts of Varadero and Cayo Coco are operated by Nordwind Airlines, on the basis of whose flights tour operators PEGAS Touristik, ANEX Tour and Intourist form package tours.

In partnership with PEGAS Touristik, Nordwind also flies to Venezuela (Island of Margarita). The Venezuelan Conviasa also operates flights from Moscow to Venezuela: on these flights, blocks of seats are taken by Intourist and TEZ TOUR. nine0003

Despite a wider selection of overseas destinations than last winter, the Caribbean continues to sell well, according to tour operators.

Thus, PEGAS Touristik's share of sales of Caribbean destinations in the total New Year's sales amounted to 15%. As the company noted, both tours with arrivals before the New Year and those with departures in the first days of January are equally in demand.

ANEX Tour told that tours to Varadero are in greater demand than to another Cuban resort, Cayo Coco. So, there are no more empty seats for sale with flights to Varadero on December 25 and 28, as well as on January 4. A few seats remain for flights departing on 30 December and 8 January. On flights to Cayo Coco, there is more choice of dates: there are seats on flights departing on December 26 and 30, as well as on December 2, 6 and 9January.

INTOURIST TO LAUNCH FLIGHTS TO THE DOMINICAN VIA VENEZUELA

Venezuela is the leader in Intourist's Caribbean sales. All seats for the New Year's Eve flight to Margarita Island are sold out.

“The block of seats for the New Year's flight on the wings of the Conviasa airline was closed back in October, after which Intourist doubled the quotas, which were also successfully closed. Due to high demand, we believe that with a shortage of transportation to the Caribbean, our block program to Venezuela will be in demand on a year-round basis,” the company said. nine0003

Tour operator Intourist plans to launch tours to the Dominican Republic on Conviasa connecting flights. Package tours to Dominican resorts with transfers in Venezuela will appear in the Intourist booking system after the New Year holidays.

WHAT YOU NEED TO ENTRY TO CUBA AND VENEZUELA

Let us remind you that Russians do not need vaccination certificates or tests for covid to enter Cuba. It is only necessary to fill out the "Sanitary Declaration". This form must be completed for each passenger, except for children under 12, 72 hours before the trip and no later than 12 hours after the start of the trip. nine0003

According to the Cuban Embassy in Moscow, from January 1, 2023, passport control at Cuban airports will be carried out in a new way. Cuban border guards will no longer stamp their passports with a visit to Cuba, which will speed up the passage of the border. Data on entry and exit from the country will be entered only in the electronic system.

Venezuela will no longer require people arriving from abroad to undergo PCR testing for COVID-19 upon arrival from December 31st. The rest of the health regulations remain in effect. Fully vaccinated passengers (Sputnik V is recognized as one of the Russian vaccines) must present a certificate of vaccination against COVID-19certificate confirming that they have been fully vaccinated at least 14 and not more than 270 days prior to arrival or a certificate confirming that they have been fully vaccinated and received a booster dose.

Unvaccinated tourists to enter Venezuela require a negative COVID-19 PCR test with QR code or link taken no later than 72 hours before flight arrival. Tests are not required for children under 5 years of age.

FEW PLACES LEFT IN POPULAR HOTELS

As expected, there is a shortage of places in popular hotels in Caribbean resorts during the Christmas and New Year holidays. nine0003

According to PEGAS Touristik, 35-40% of popular hotels in Cuba and Venezuela have already announced the suspension of sales for a high period, but it is still possible to find an alternative. Intourist clarified that the top hotels in the resort of Cayo Coco are working with a maximum load until January 6 inclusive.

We would like to remind you that the PGS Varadero 4* hotel was opened in Varadero after renovation, the exclusive rights to sell which belong to the tour operator PEGAS Touristik.

According to PEGAS Touristik, compared to last year, the cost of tours to the Caribbean has increased by about 30-40%, which is primarily due to the rise in air travel. nine0003

Russian tourists choose 4 and 5* hotels in Caribbean destinations. As a rule, taking into account long flights, our compatriots go on tours for 10-14 days. In the top of demand are accommodation facilities operating on the concept of "All Inclusive".

    Where to go to rest in summer 2023 in Russia

    due to sanctions in 2023 travel in Russia looks the most affordable. Our government naturally supports holidays in the country and since 2020 has been regularly holding promotions with a good cashback on the MIR card. nine0003

    The leaders of domestic tourism are of course Black Sea resorts . A limited number of foreign destinations suitable for seaside vacations leads to the fact that in the summer the number of rooms in the hotels of the Krasnodar Territory will again be filled to capacity.

    The forthcoming season is overshadowed by the temporarily closed airports of the south of Russia - the resorts of Anapa, Gelendzhik, Simferopol. Sochi Airport is open!

    But tests and vaccination certificates are no longer required 😊

    Kaliningrad region 🟢

    You can also have a good rest on the Baltic Sea. But if you plan to swim, then you should plan your vacation for July or August. Sea temperature in July + 19°C, and in August + 20 °C with an average daytime air temperature of + 22 degrees. If you are lucky and the heat sets in, the sea can warm up to + 23 ° C. But of course, you should not rely on the weather like on the Black Sea. The resorts of the Kaliningrad region are in demand just among those people who cannot stand the hot climate.
