Turkey’s Tourism Minister says he plans to make Turkey a year-round ‘go-to destination’ for affluent travellers.
Mehmet Nuri Ersoy wants to attract tourists to all of the country’s 81 provinces, in particular the Aegean coast, which currently only accounts for 10% of all tourism revenue while the Mediterranean and Marmara regions provide 80%.
In a statement, the country’s Tourism Ministry said: “With its well-run hotels, quality service, and hospitality, Türkiye [Turkey] is not only a very popular destination for family holidays but also, thanks to recent investments and effective new strategies, an essential cultural destination for affluent travellers.
“The Ministry, managed by experienced tourism professional Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, has developed international events, sports tournaments and festivals, which promote short-term stays. These efforts have significantly promoted wealthy individuals’ visits to the country.”
