Sri Lanka, Thailand and Hainan Island: how much will a vacation cost in the most popular resorts in 2024

Asia became the most popular destination for Russian tourists this year. And if every domestic traveler has heard of Thailand and Sri Lanka, then the Chinese island of Hainan has become a completely new tourist route for those who cannot imagine another holiday other than the beach.

The good news is that all of these resorts are relatively budget-friendly for Russian tourists. But only if you don’t look at the cost of tours for the January holidays. For example, already in February and March, plane tickets to Asian destinations will cost about 30 thousand rubles (and this includes the return ticket). Agree, at a time when the flight to Sochi costs the same, these prices seem quite reasonable. But more about all the figures a little later.

We will tell you how much a holiday in the most popular holiday destinations in Asia (Sri Lanka, Thailand and Hainan) will cost in 2024.

Sri Lanka

After prices for holidays in Bali have almost doubled, Sri Lanka has become a real salvation for lovers of tropical countries. In addition, the country recently began issuing free electronic visas to Russian tourists, which previously cost about three thousand rubles. Experienced tourists claim that Sri Lanka has changed a lot and is now completely different from what it was a few years ago. Now clean beaches, beautiful hotels and popular restaurants are opening in all tourist areas. So, feel free to book your trip without worrying about poor quality service and ruined holiday. In any case, the Indian Ocean coast will not leave you indifferent.

Thailand

It did not surprise us for a long time that Thailand has been the most preferred destination for Russian tourists for the last ten years. But we are really pleased with the number of indigenous projects along the Indian Ocean coast. Now Thailand has everything from pancakes and borscht to Russian liqueurs, which, by the way, fits perfectly into the local taste. So don’t be surprised if all your friends move to Tai next year. Now all fans of the resort have at least two reasons why they want to return there: direct and relatively cheap flights and the opportunity to stay in the country without a visa for three months. Therefore, feel free to plan your trip knowing that you will definitely have time to visit all the islands and relax at the end.

Hainan Island

If you haven’t heard of China’s most beautiful island, Hainan, yet, don’t worry. Let’s be honest, until this year very few Russian tourists knew about it. Simply put, Hainan is the Maldives of China. True, they are quite budget-friendly. According to one of the users on the Vinsky forum, this year he flew there for a week-long tour for 24 thousand rubles. By the way, the accommodation price includes flight ticket, transfer and breakfast. Hainan is a completely different China, a China that not everyone is used to. The resort is ideal for a beach holiday away from the hustle and bustle.
