Turkey become popular destination for Eastern Europeans

Turkey is becoming the most popular destinations for eastern Europeans due to the low entry costs they provide for investors in terms of getting on to the property ladder.

TurkishPress.com cited Turkish Statistical Institute statistics showing that in last 2 months turkey has attracted over 280,000 people from Eastern Europe which is more than 2 percent when comparing the same period last year.

The aesthetic beauty of the costal areas blended with a rich history and a hospitable atmosphere makes Turkey appeal to Europeans and particularly eastern Europeans recently. The official figures states that nearly 140,000 Bulgarian nationals chose to take a holiday in turkey during winter months and they were only fractionally behind German tourists to visit Turkey in 2008

The Turkish government initial target is to boost tourism from 20 million to 25 million in 2008 and also aims to double the annual number of foreign tourists from 23 million to 50 million in the next 15 years.

The government's initiatives to boost tourism are anticipated to increase interest from foreign property buyers. The BuyAssociation states that Turkey's growing holidaymaking appeal is making it very attractive to but -to-let investors.
