Egypt opened. What's next?

What will be the consequences of Vladimir Putin's statement for the travel services market?

The Russians were once again encouraged about the possible resumption of air travel to Egypt. December 11 President of Russia Vladimir Putin said: the Egyptian side has done a lot of work to improve security at airports, to open direct flights between Moscow and Cairo, "in general, we are ready." Chapter Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov said that a corresponding decree could be signed in the coming days and gave a guideline - regular flights to Cairo may resume from February 2018. And where is Cairo, there is Hurghada with Sharm el-Sheikh - in any case, representatives tourism business see just such a scenario.

But how will the opening of Egypt affect the market in reality?

purely symbolic

The start of flights from Moscow to Cairo will be a symbolic event for the tourism industry - as the first step towards the cherished goal. But no more. Because this item is not of great practical interest in terms of organizing tourist transportation. The distance from the Egyptian capital to the resort areas is about 500 km, bus transfers of this length would be too expensive, extremely tiring and even questionable in terms of safety. It is much easier and cheaper for Russians to fly to the beaches of Egypt via Minsk, Istanbul or other roundabout ways. As you know, many now do just that.

Another thing is if the regular season is allowed to all airports in Egypt. This will have significant implications for the tourism business. Namely: tour operators whose transportation partners have appointments for regular flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh will get a competitive edge. Here is the list given by experts close to Rosaviatsia.

Rossiya Airlines: appointments to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from Moscow and St. Petersburg.

"Icarus": Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk.

"Saratov Airlines": Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from Saratov.

"Ural Airlines": Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh from St. Petersburg.

"Yamal": Moscow - Hurghada.

It is clear that flights of "Russia" will ship, "Icarus" is affiliated with. The other three airlines do not have exclusive relationships with any of the tour operators. Therefore, the admission to their transportation, if necessary, will theoretically be received by everyone.

Plus, if regular flights are allowed in resort airports tour operators will certainly try to enlist support EgyptAir, which must have the appropriate permissions from the Egyptian side. In a word, activity in the direction will resume.

When, finally, charters are allowed, the deferred demand for Egypt will manifest itself in full and some other areas of tourism will not receive tourists from Russia.

Where are the customers missing?

"Natural loss" of client flows is possible, for example, in Turkey, experts say. Because summer Egypt has always been cheaper, and even in the first season after the ban is lifted, local hoteliers will certainly offer unprecedented low prices.

There may be a decrease in tourist flows from Russia to many other destinations, which, in the absence of Egypt, were taken by large tour operators in order to ensure the loading of their transport capacities and maintain sales volumes. This applies to both exotic and European resorts. "Biblio-Globus", "Pegas Touristik" will certainly adjust their plans in favor of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. It is possible that the range of charter destinations will become scarce in this regard. Reductions may affect the diversity of programs in Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus. For the same reason, optimization is quite likely on some long-haul routes - for example, in the Dominican Republic, which ANEX Tour in the absence of access to Egypt, he began to promote it in a year-round format.

But what about Russian resorts? A significant outflow of clientele does not threaten them, observers believe. Of the heavyweight tour operators, Biblio-Globus is really active there, and it is unlikely to deprive Russia of transportation in favor of Egypt, since it has already done a lot of work on introducing a package holiday format in Sochi. Moreover, there are no prerequisites for a natural decrease in demand in the field of domestic tourism. Those who went to the Black Sea involuntarily, for lack of anything cheaper, migrated to Turkey in the summer of 2017. What remains are mostly convinced adherents of Russian resorts, who, by definition, are not interested in Africa - regardless of the price.

These are the general forecasts of experts regarding the perturbations in the market if Egypt is really opened. It remains to add that, in general, this will have a beneficial effect on the economy of large outgoing tour operators: they will be able to ensure a fairly stable load of their fleets all year round. Because in the absence of Egypt, everyone has the same thing - in summer, planes are in short supply, in winter there is nowhere to put them. And under such conditions, the expansion of air fleets is difficult.

So, we are waiting for the development of events in the “mothballed” market. Skeptics, by the way, remind: so far no official permission has been received for flights from Russia to Egypt, and therefore there is no formal basis for building specific business plans.
