Tourism in Turkey has recorded a new milestone by posting through September revenues close to 46 billion, with a notable boost from visitor spending. In this context, average spending per night stood at "107.7 dollars, which represents a year-on-year increase of 4.6%".
The head of the Tourism portfolio highlighted the resilience of the Turkish tourism industry despite the complex international scenario, marked by regional conflicts, limitations in airspace, and the rising cost of energy and transport. The minister linked these good figures to the policy of market diversification and tourism offer developed through the Turkey Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA).
