Vacation in Eilat or Cyprus?

We checked what is really cheaper this summer

Expensive to vacation in the country this summer, when we are all "captive" in it with the children who are still obliged to return to isolation from abroad. This does not prevent hotels from raising prices, perhaps more than ever. So we tested whether it is really cheaper to vacation abroad than in Eilat.

The results are in front of you

The cost of vacation in hotels in Israel is nothing new. We all know that it is always worthwhile to vacation abroad than with us, and this year more than ever under the auspices of the Corona and the isolation restrictions on returning children. The

demand for proper summer vacation, after a

difficult

year and a half of closures security constraints, kosher, employees, taxes and other pretexts, some true and some not so much, that hotels use to try and suck us every cent, but prices this summer vacations in Israel, Eilat, for example, simply do not make sense.

during the corona closed 300 out of 400 hotels In Israel, and the talkbackers did not remain indebted and happy to the poor hoteliers who only asked for help from the state and support.

So we decided to check (yesterday) the price differences between a vacation in Eilat summer and the same vacation, with similar flight times and the cheapest abroad - and we found Cyprus. We checked a weekend vacation in late July and mid-August for a family of 2 + 2, At the same hotel level and on the same level of accommodation. And yet, despite the flights abroad (as opposed to flights to Eilat), hotel transfers and Corona checks -

a holiday in Cyprus is still cheaper than in Eilat

.

Here are the differences, and let everyone decide where this summer vacation is (despite the isolation).

The management of the Louis hotel chain in Cyprus, some of whose hotels are mentioned in the article, explain that "starting in June, we are witnessing a 10-fold increase in the number of Israelis entering the chain's booking site and a 40% increase in vacation bookings compared to May. "Couples and the rest are families with children, most of them for a period of 4 nights. In order to encourage Israelis to extend their vacation by no more than 72 hours and remove the burden of the PCR test, we made a strategic decision to fully subsidize it."
