Turkey is experiencing a significant decline in tourism, with many hotels left empty as UK tourists opt for destinations like Greece within the European Union.
A travel expert shared with the Express that hotels in Turkey are noticeably quieter, despite the peak holiday season. Hamit Kuk, an advisor for the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies, noted in August that some budget-friendly hotels in popular areas were only half-full.
He explained: “While reports of entirely empty hotels are inaccurate, room occupancy rates, which were previously at 100 percent, have dropped. I anticipate two and three-star hotels closing by October, four-star hotels by mid-October, while five-star hotels may stay open until the end of the month.”
