Estonia’s spring school break begins this Saturday. On Friday, Tallinn Airport was already packed with people heading away on vacation. Spas in Estonia are also expected to be busier than usual over the next week.
On Friday morning, Tallinn Airport was of young travelers heading abroad and there was no sign of an economic downturn affecting the passengers just yet.
“The most popular destinations during the school holidays are always the warm countries, whether that’s a charter trip to Turkey or, increasingly nowadays, a city break with the kids. The number of passengers we have is very similar, if we compare it to last year, it’s practically the same,” said Margot Holts, marketing and communications manager at Tallinn Airport.
Rainer Rebane, travel consultant at travel agency Estravel, said the most popular destinations during this spring break are Turkey, Egypt and Tenerife.
Estravel’s statistics do not seem to show that people are trying to cut back on spending when it comes to this year’s spring vacation, despite travel having become more expensive since last year. Whenever possible, Estonian travelers prefer to opt for a hassle-free package holiday with all the services included in the price.
