On April 11, 2023, at a meeting of the Coordinating Committee of the Specialized Councils of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly, the Secretary General of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly Andrey Belyaninov voiced the idea of creating a travel ranking companies in Greater Eurasia.
In modern times of international turbulence, it is very important to choose reliable travel companies that guarantee not only an educational, but also the safest possible trip. It is no secret that tourism has become one of the vulnerable sectors of the modern economy in almost every country in the world. The number of tourist routes is reduced daily, as travel companies do not guarantee the transport and logistical safety of tourists. The tourism industry is suffering huge losses. Not only hotels are closing, but entire resorts. The venerable tour operators, who have been working in the tourist market for decades, stop their work.
At the same time, the attractiveness of travel, on the contrary, is growing, since positive emotions are actively required at any time of crisis. In these circumstances, it is important to understand who to trust your vacation and your trip, which of the travel companies will be stronger than difficult international circumstances and ready to take responsibility for tourists.
On April 12, the Eurasian Tourism Security Council of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly launched a comprehensive tourism ranking of Greater Eurasia for Eurasian travel companies. The geography of the tourist ranking will also cover the countries of Africa and Latin America. For the ranking, the recommendations of the partners of the International Integration Program "CIS + WORLD", which unites representatives from more than 150 countries of the world, will be used. In 2022, the CIS + WORLD program underwent an actual reformatting. This is the basis for its activities focused primarily on humanitarian contacts and the B2B format.
The ranking will be based on the following criteria.
- The number of insurance tourism products included in the comprehensive tourist package.
- Variety of accommodation facilities.
- Transport security.
- Pool of logistics and insurance partners of tourism company.
- The level of training of certified guides.
- The volume of seasonal and off-season offers.
- Qualification and experience of the company's staff.
- Quality and geography of health insurance coverage.
- Provided recreational travel program.
- Gastronomic security.
- Quality of preventive consulting.
- Provided cultural program.
- Number of guaranteed places in collective accommodation facilities.
- Travel company income.
- Number of repeat sales.
- Geography of activity.
- Lack of legal claims from tourists.
- Quality of service.
- The number of positive reviews about the work of the company on the Internet.
- The speed of professional adaptation.
- The volume of new tourism products presented on the market in 2022-2023
- Collaboration of tourism activity.
The intermediate results of the ranking will be tracked separately. Based on the work carried out, it is planned to create a register of the most stress-resistant travel companies that, in spite of everything, continue to work efficiently, actively and safely and delight tourists with their tourism products.
