MOSCOW, October 8 (RIA Novosti) - In connection with explosions in the Hilton Hotel some Russian tourists are giving up vacations in Taba resort, Egypt, press secretary of the Russian Tourist Union Irina Tyurina said.

However, many people ask to rebook their trips to other Egyptian resorts, which are not situated on the Sinai peninsula, she noted.

According to Ms. Tyurina, some Russian tourists staying in Egypt will return to Russia and others will move to other resorts to continue vacations.

She believes that the terrorist acts will not affect the flow of Russian tourists.

"There will be a short pause. If no new terrorist attacks hit Egypt, Russians will be coming to Egypt by the New Year. This is one of the most popular winter resorts," Irina Tyurina said.

In her words, Egypt offers a flexible price policy and is likely to reduce prices to attract tourists.

Terrorist acts hit Egyptian resorts Taba and Noweiba on Friday night. According to the latest data, the number of victims has reached 31, Sky News reports. A Russian woman is among them. Eight Russian tourists were injured.

According to the Moscow Pegas tourist operator, there were 232 Russian tourists in the Hilton Hotel at the moment of the explosion. All in all, 900 people stayed at the hotel.

About 150 people were wounded in the terrorist act, Al Jazeera says.
