of Russians who vacation abroad organize their trips themselves. The majority of vacationers, who travel abroad (excluding the CIS countries), rely on travel agencies (86% of respondents).
The situation is the opposite for those who travel within Russia: 78% of vacationers think up routes, order tickets, choose accommodation, etc. by themselves, while only 13% buy pre-planned vacation packages.
This was shown by the results of the latest Monitoring Survey of Innovative Behavior of the Population, carried out by the HSE Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge. During the study, 1.671 Russians between the ages of 16 and older were surveyed at the end of 2013.
