Tourism in Turkey

More than 52 million international tourists visited Turkey in 2019, bringing in approximately $35 billion in tourism revenue for the country. In 2020, Turkey's tourism income fell by 69%. However, in the first half of 2021, the number of visitors from Russia, Belarus, and Uzbekistan increased significantly, with the number of tourists from Ukraine increasing by 298.9% over the same time period of the previous year.

1- Covid-19 instances totaled more than 60,000 each day by the end of April. That number has already dropped below 5,000, following a 17-day partial closure and subsequent limitations. 2- In Turkey, more than 44 million individuals have been immunized so far. 3- The speed with which the vaccine is distributed to the greatest number of citizens, as well as the openness of life in the country and its return to normal following the repeal of all forms of the ban, all contribute to encouraging tourism activities and providing a suitable and safe environment for spending a pleasant vacation.
