“Of course, the volatility of fares in the short term affects the internal tariffs of operators, which leads to a change in the cost of the ruble, but the cost of travel denominated in currencies should not change in any way,” noted Muradyan (cited by RIA Novosti).
According to the vice president of ATOR, tour operators will use dollars from the territory of third countries, since in Russia itself “they were useless” even before the decision on sanctions against the Moscow Stock Exchange.
Let us remember that the day before the Moscow Stock Exchange suspended operations in dollars and euros. In this regard, the Bank of Russia announced that it will now calculate the official exchange rate of the ruble in the over-the-counter market. On Thursday, the Central Bank once again clarified that the rate will remain uniform and market-based, only the range of data for its calculation will change.
