Currently, international tourism takes up 29% of the global services export. Tourism places fifth among the global export industries, coming in after the energy, chemical, food and automotive industries. However, for many developing countries tourism is the most important industry.
According to travel search engine Kayak, during the first week of February the number of search queries regarding the flights to the host city of 2014 Olympics has grown 15% compared to the first week of January. Despite the increasingly high demand, it is currently possible to buy a one-way ticket from Moscow to Sochi for 3,000 rubles ($85). Kayak analysts project the prices to drop even more in a few days. It is also possible to find a vacant room for the coming weekend at an affordable price.
