Turkish property boosted by golf tourism
Sunday, July 13, 2008
Golf tourism is helping to drive the property market in Turkey and a prominent golf award could be great news for Turkey property investors.
International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) has awarded Turkey as "Best Golf Destination of the Year-Europe 2008". The award proclaims that Turkey is becoming one of the world's leading golf destinations.
Robert Nixon 'Operations Director' Nirvana International has stated that Turkey is becoming increasingly popular with golf fans, to such an extent that it could possibly overtake established countries such as Spain and Portugal. This is because the country is replete with high-quality golf courses and a large number of new golf courses and leisure facilities have been developed in the last few years. The easy accessibility with budget airlines, the warm weather, low living costs and ample areas of historical interest makes Turkey even more attractive for the holidaymakers and golf fans from other countries.
Data from the Turkish tourism ministry has revealed that the number of holidaymakers who are choosing to visit Turkey has gone up in the last year and the country attracted 7.3 million visitors. This is 15 per cent higher than the numbers recorded at the same point of 2007.
The expansion of new golfing facilities in Turkey could also have a knock-on effect of escalating the country's appeal to overseas property investors.
