Turkey attracts more Ukrainian tourists
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Recently Culture and tourism minister Ertugrul Gunay said that Turkey attracted more than 23 million foreign holidaymakers in 2007, reports TurkishPress.com. He added that this makes it the ninth-most visited country in the world in 2007 and is ranked in 11th place in terms of the amount of revenue generated by tourism.
The Turkish Daily News has reported that the number of people visiting Turkey from Russia and the Ukraine could surpass two million by the end of the year. Turkey is likely to attract a greater number of Ukraine holidaymakers this year following the launch of new flights.
The Kyiv Post has recently reported that Turkey attracted 590,000 people from the Ukraine in 2007 which is 22% more than in 2006. Tourists from Ukraine are becoming the "most prominent force" in the Turkish tourist trade. The increase in the number of tourists from Ukraine is reflected in the increase in the number of flights being offered to Turkey.
Ali Altunbas of Adore Toure has said that initially they organised about 20 flights to Antalya per week. Currently, the number of flights is increased to 50 per week. A representative from Karya Tour has revealed that its client volume is growing by 40% a year, with many passengers going to Turkey.
Consequently, this could result in Turkey's real estate sector having a busy year as Turkey is considered to be a potentially good market for overseas property investors to consider, since they could possibly collect strong rental returns.
This comes after the Turkish Daily News reported that the Turkish government is to invest £71 million for efforts to promote the country as a holiday destination all year round.
