The most popular destinations for the May holidays were the Egyptian resorts of Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada and Marsa Alam, the Antalya and Aegean coasts of Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, sales director of the tour operator Join UP! Maryna Daineko told Interfax-Ukraine.
For the May holidays Join UP! added point flights to Antalya, primarily from Kyiv.
“We are launching all other flights of the flight program to Turkey (from May 2 Dalaman, later Bodrum and Izmir) in the planned volume,” Daineko said.
According to her, Albania, Montenegro and Cyprus are actively booking by Ukrainians for the May holidays. At the same time, the company noted a sufficient revival in the direction of excursion tourism.
“Those who are interested in a rich historical, excursion and gastronomic program choose tours to Georgia, Armenia and the direction little-known by Ukrainians – Serbia,” Daineko said.

“The conditions of entry and return to Ukraine often change, so we recommend that you check the current information with a travel agent before booking the morning and departure,” Daineko said.
