Why choose countries with visa-free entry for holidays?

- The impossibility of acquiring a "burning ticket". Applying for a visa takes quite a lot of time, so it is impossible to save money by purchasing a last-minute ticket - most of these tours are sold out 2-3 days before the possible departure.
- Long visa processing time. This is especially true of the summer period - during the summer holidays, huge queues of potential tourists gather at the embassies.

You yourself understand that after such a mini-rest, the desire to work wakes up, and inspiration and new forces are present.
