Moscow, March 19 /Xinhua/ — Russian tourists who went on vacation abroad this winter most often chose Asian destinations, RIA Novosti reports, citing the results of a joint study by analysts from the YuMoney wallet and the Othello booking service.
According to analysts, Russians most frequently booked accommodations in Turkey, Thailand, and Belarus. Armenia, Kazakhstan, the UAE, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Georgia, and China also made the top ten.
"Analysis of international bookings shows a clear trend: Russians are actively exploring Asia. Interest in Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and China has grown significantly—these destinations are showing the largest growth in their share of total bookings over the winter period," the analysts added.
According to the survey results, 51 percent of respondents took a vacation this winter, another 12 percent are still on vacation, and the remaining 37 percent decided to do without a winter vacation.
Of those who vacationed in the winter, the overwhelming majority (80 percent) spent their holidays in Russia, 14 percent traveled abroad, and six percent managed to combine both formats,” analysts from two companies found.
Analysts examined data from an online survey of more than 1,800 users aged 25-54, as well as anonymized data on bookings from December 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, and for the same period a year earlier. –0–
