The tourist season in Altai is associated with many expectations and hopes for vivid impressions. However, this year prices for accommodation, food and entertainment in Altai have increased so much that they have surprised even seasoned Russian holidaymakers. This is reported by the Proofs media platform.
According to the tourism industry, the cost of vacations has increased by 20-30%, which has led to a serious increase in prices both for those traveling to tourist centers and for lovers of “wild” tourism.< /p>
For example, a five-day trip with accommodation in a middle-class hotel now costs 30-45 thousand rubles per person, not including transport costs. Vacationers from various cities, including Novosibirsk, note that prices for products and services in Altai are significantly higher than in their regions. For example, a family from Novosibirsk spent 12 thousand rubles for two days of rest, of which 4 thousand went on gasoline.
Tourist Elena M. emphasized that even at tourist centers, prices for snacks, drinks and water have become significantly higher than usual. Prices for excursions and entertainment have also increased, starting from 2 thousand rubles per person. Homemade pies sell for 150 rubles apiece, boiled corn for 200 rubles, and a regular hot dog for 250 rubles. A bottle of water costs 150 rubles. Excursions and rafting cost at least 2 thousand rubles per person.
Tourist complaints about high food prices are supported by statistics: despite the fact that wages in the region are lower, food in Altai is more expensive than in large cities , such as Novosibirsk. This creates additional financial barriers for those who seek to spend a vacation in this beautiful region.
Despite the increase in prices for holidays in Altai, many tourists continue to find ways to enjoy the beauty of this unique region. One way to save money may be to plan your trip in advance, choose budget accommodation and food options, and study prices for services and products in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.
