Rental potential is a fiscal fact in Turkey
Thursday, July 3, 2008
Rental investors in Turkey could be set to witness a surge in occupancy rates in the next few months, according to experts.
Vural Oger of Oger Tours on an interview to Hurriyet has stated that the number of European holidaymakers is expected to increase as much as ten per cent this year and there is likely to be a significant increase in the number of German visitors possibly of about six per cent. As a result, demand for rental accommodation will increase and generate higher returns for property owners.
Rumi Dogay of the Pamucak Union of Tourism Investors Speaking to TurkishPress.com said that many holidaymakers in the continent opt to visit Turkey this year as many traditional European destinations are on the brink of an economic recession. As a result, Turkey is benefiting appreciably and is expected to attract a record number of holidaymakers in 2008.
TurkishPress.com reported that Turkey attracted more than 23 million foreign leisure travelers last year and it is likely to increase this year. The tourist sector has generated about £1.4 billion in the first 3 months of 2008. This has made Turkey more attractive to foreign property buyers and house prices are spiraling upwards.
Turkey was singled out by the Guardian as a good destination for British holidaymakers to consider because the pound has slumped to a record low against the euro.

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.

Tuesday, April 22, 2008
The ongoing global credit crunch could prove to be advantageous to owners of rental accommodation in Turkey. Official figures from post offices states that there has been 15 per cent increase in sales for Turkish currency among Brits. This is due to the reason that the pound has hit a record low against the euro and has fallen drastically in value over the last couple of months. Experts have said that People are likely to visit countries which are not part of the single European currency.
The fall in the value of the pound against the euro will mainly have an impact on holidaymakers. Travel weekly has reported that UK vacationers are preparing to make their annual trips abroad despite the fears about the people's finances being constrained by the slowdown in the worldwide economy. Countries along the Mediterranean coast like turkey are found to be most popular locations with more bookings. Turkey statistical institute has reported that 23.5 million tourists visited Turkey last year and is expected to increase to 27 million in 2008.The tourist trade was up a massive 43.9% in the last 3 months in 2007 when compared with the same period in 2006.
Murat Dedeman, the head of The Turkish Tourism Investors Association (TYD) also predicts the increase in the number of foreign tourists visiting Turkey in 2008, resulting in profits of up to $21 billion. Dedeman's optimism is supported by the Turkish Travel Agencies' Association (TURSAB), which expects a 15 percent rise in tourist numbers this year to 27 million.
The dynamic infrastructural and economic transformation process that the Turkey has been experiencing in the last decade has a powerful impact on Turkish tourism and strengthened Turkey's place in the world.
This comes after the predictions from Cushman & Wakefield, global property agents and they say that real estate in emerging markets like turkey will evade the current slowdown relatively unharmed and Goldman Sachs investment bank has said turkey is having promising outlooks for investment and future growth.
