Much of the new lease of life for the Tourism Industry has come from the significant amounts of Investment that Turkey has pumped into its Infrastructure, Tourism and Transport, along with the added benefits of the Lira being so attractive, and the complications with Russia now being sorted out.

Ersoy went on to point out that due to their revision and new understanding of the tourism concept they now ´aim to upgrade it with a project based on qualified tourists´ and ´though they expected figures for 2019 to be good anyway, they not only aim to increase the number of people visiting Turkey, but they also aim to increase the per capita income per night´.
