Turkey become a popular holiday destination for Dutch tourists
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
There is a significant increase in the number of Dutch visitors in Turkey and experts have predicted a further increase will be recorded this year. This would increase the demand for temporary lodgings in popular tourist hotspots during the peak holiday season. The number of Dutch visitors has gone up consistently since 2003.
Yildiray Karaer, director of low-cost airline Corendon Air has commented that Turkey has emerged as Holland's most popular holiday destination, Dutch holidaymakers are flocking Turkey throughout the year. The airline has revealed that Turkey at present has a 25% share of the Dutch tourism market.
Ertugrul Gunay, Culture and tourism minister has said that Turkey has attracted more than 23 million foreign leisure travelers in 2007 which makes it the ninth-most visited country in the world in 2007 and 11th place in terms of amount of revenue generated by tourism.
Turkey is recommended by the Telegraph because it presently offers very favourable exchange rates with the UK. France and Portugal has become more expensive places to visit due to strong euro. Moreover, it said that the cost of renting a property in some areas is about half the cost of accommodation in Spain. Turkey has become "number one" tourist destination because it is so much cheaper than many eurozone members.
The growing tourist sector is a positive development for owners of property in Turkey, as it suggests they may benefit from further rental demand in future. The added interest would also lead to the rise in the value of property. Consequently, investors would be able to amass the proceeds of substantial capital growth.
