Executive summary
Consumers losing their jobs tend to save instead of spending on tourism
Unemployment is still one of the most significant consequences of the recession which is directly affecting the travel and tourism industry. When losing their jobs, consumers tend to spend less and save more, and the first thing they do is avoid expenditure on entertainment and leisure. This refers to both inbound and outbound tourists in Russia. Unemployment is expected to continue to increase, and salaries are unlikely to reach the pre-recession level in 2009. This means that Russian travel and tourism has a real chance of demonstrating signs of recovery only by the end of 2010.
What does the new legislation promise?
The main concern of travel industry experts in relation to the legislation for travel retailers about financial provisions is linked to the increased number of small companies operating illegally. Corruption and weak laws allow companies to avoid liability, provide low quality services and break contracts with tourists. This problem is growing in some regions, and became especially serious after the recent financial provision law amendments were adopted.
Financial crisis makes the problems in Russian tourism even worse
The main problems in the Russian travel and tourism industry include: low budgets for tourism development in different regions of the country; high prices for accommodation and visa barriers impeding international tourist flows; weakness and inefficiency of industry legislation, including the tax system; and a lack of measures to improve the image of the country as a tourist destination. During the recession period, the industry lost a serious share of expected investment, which made all these problems even worse.
Children’s tourism suffers from the H1N1 flu epidemic
Tourism for children was the segment which suffered from the H1N1 flu epidemic. From May 2009, groups of children travelling abroad needed to go through the procedure of getting a recommendation from Rospotrebnadzor, the main body controlling medical issues in Russia, including epidemics. Some travel retailers complained about the controversial decisions of Rospotrebnadzor, which hampered travel abroad for children, even in cases where there was no reason for this.
International low cost airlines lead
The low cost airlines category is still very new in Russia. There are several foreign low cost companies offering cheap flights to Moscow, St Petersburg, Samara, Novosibirsk and Krasnodar. Only two Russian airlines are known as low cost carriers, Avianova and Sky Express, and they offer domestic flights only. For international flights Russian tourists tend to choose foreign low cost airlines, as Russian airlines are still very expensive. This trend is not expected to change dramatically during the forecast period. However, local airlines will have to adapt their pricing policies according to the changing market.
