Türkiye launched its tourism season earlier than usual in 2025, coinciding with Ramadan Bayram — also known as Eid al-Fitr — as part of efforts to reach its ambitious $65 billion tourism revenue target for the year, the head of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB), Firuz Baglikaya, said on Sunday.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Baglikaya emphasized that Türkiye ranks among the world’s top tourism destinations and underlined the sector’s commitment to maintaining this position through sustainable practices. “There’s no market where we expect low demand—growth continues steadily across all regions,” he said.
