Turkish Tourism Climbs 10.7% Year-on-Year in November


Share

Turkish tourism in November this year was 10.7% higher than November last year according to new figures released by the Turkish culture and tourism ministry.

This will be a relief for some people, who had feared that without a new deal with the International Monetary Fund the cuts in spending on promotion would badly damage growth in tourism to Turkey.

Some will say that this will make a deal with the IMF now even less likely; as Prime Minister Erdogan can point to continued tourism growth as supporting his case against such a deal.

According to the figures Germany is still Turkey's biggest tourism market, followed by Russians and then Brits.

Other news today also revealed that the high end of the tourism sector is seeing the fastest growth; this is because Turkey is attracting many of the tourists who would previously have holidayed in the Eurozone, according to Julian Walker, director of UK based Turkish property agent Spot Blue, he said:

"It comes as no surprise to us that the high end holiday sector is seeing the fastest growth, because we are seeing the higher end of the property sector recovering fastest; with the fastest rising demand. People are currently looking for bigger and more expensive properties, and we are putting this down, at least in part to the stronger euro sending buyers outside the Eurozone for their holidays and property buying desires."

Spot Blue is one of the most reputable, knowledgeable and best known UK agents of Turkish property, with Turkey properties for sale from £25k.
