The company said that following a phone conversation between the foreign ministers of the two countries, Turkey will open borders for tourists from Ukraine from July 1. The Turkish party said that it will create all the necessary conditions for the safe vacation of Ukrainian citizens in the summer.”
“Turkey, which tops our destinations, will welcome guests from July 1 of this year. It has become an exemplary country in the world, which implemented all the necessary safety measures for tourists and tourism in general. Therefore, we are planning to launch charter flights with Azur Air Ukraine, surely, observing all the rules of safe air travel,” the company’s press service said, citing General Director of Anex Tour Ukraine Ilker Adıgüzel.
A new success story has begun due to great patience of Ukrainians, well-coordinated work of state authorities and heroism of doctors, Director General of ANEX Tour Ukraine Ilker Adiguzel said.
According to reports from various countries and statements by public officials in Ukraine, borders will open for air traffic from June 15. ANEX Tour is already checking out the flight schedule based on bilateral agreements. Certainly, first flights will be launched to the countries which have prepared their infrastructure for receiving guests, he noted.
“Turkey, which is our main destination, will start receiving guests from July 1 this year. It has become an exemplary country of the world by taking all necessary safety measures for tourists and the tourism sector as a whole. Also, the UAE and Asian countries most likely will be among the first countries to open for flights. Serious work is being carried out there at the top level with the aim of reviving tourism and making the infrastructure safe. The time of a coronavirus outbreak was the most difficult for European countries. However, we hope that flights to Europe will be allowed at the next stage. We will start from Spain. With its destinations network covering all countries, ANEX Tour is the world’s second largest tour operator. Taking this fact into account, according to the calendar (including the schedule of flights and opening of borders), in line with official decisions and strategic forecasts, which will be approved, we continue offering the best services to our tourists. We are preparing to win hearts of millions of Ukrainian travelers by transporting them safely to vacations of their dream,” Adiguzel said.
He also noted that it is planned to launch new direct flights from Ukraine to popular destinations.
The coronavirus epidemic has had a serious impact on the global economy and the travel business in particular. According to forecasts, Ukrainian tourists will have an opportunity to travel safely as soon as the quarantine comes to an end and flight connection is resumed.
The world’s largest tour operator ANEX Tour says that it is already preparing summer tour packages.
“We are ready to ensure high-quality services, safety and the best prices. Today active preparations for the 2021 summer season are underway. Sales of tours to Maldives, Mexico, and Vietnam have started. For the 2020-2021 winter season we together with our airline company Azur Air Ukraine are planning to launch new direct flights to a lot of very popular destinations which have never been offered in Ukraine. Also, we are planning additional flights for October due to a very high demand for the destinations we used to offer before. Thus, we have much more chances to extend the number of destinations for Ukrainian travelers,” Director General of ANEX Tour Ukraine Ilker Adiguzel said.
