Mahmud Badalov, director of the Chinar-Tour with 27 years of experience in tourism, shares professional forecasts for the 2025 season.

Türkiye will remain the undisputed leader in 2025, a destination that has held the palm for many years. Egypt can be ranked second, while Vietnam, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman will share the third position.

In today’s reality, it is important to be flexible, for example, in the absence of direct flights, convenient connecting options are offered. Turkish airlines continue to expand their route network. Short-term visas remain a minor inconvenience for multiple trips.

An analysis of the profile of a modern tourist shows the following distribution: 20% are VIP clients for whom quality is more important than budget, 50% are connoisseurs of the optimal price-quality ratio, 10% are budget tourists with an understanding of price-quality ratio, 20% are those who expect the maximum for the minimum cost.

To date, the following recommendations can be identified:

Working with hotels: direct contact with management is the key to prompt resolution of any issues.

Training and development: regular professional development through industry workshops and conferences, online webinars (saving time without loss of quality) and partner discussions.

Service promotion: active work with social networks is an essential element of a successful business.

Special thanks should be expressed to the HelloOtel platform and its creator Sabir Mizam for an effective tool for interaction between hoteliers and travel agents.
