Russian travelers are increasingly booking tours at the last moment rather than planning well in advance, according to tourism industry figure Maya Lomidze, cited by TASS.
Lomidze said consumer behavior in Russia's travel market has changed, with a growing share of holidaymakers waiting until shortly before departure to finalize their bookings.
TASS did not report specific figures on the scale of the shift or which destinations are most affected by the trend toward last-minute planning.
The observation comes amid broader changes in Russia's outbound tourism market in recent years, as travelers and tour operators have adjusted to shifting economic conditions and travel options.
