British tourist numbers grow rapidly in turkey

Turkey’s rapidly expanding tourism industry has been well documented as the nation has climbed tourism rankings to become one of the world’s leading holiday destinations.

New data has found that this industry growth has been heavily influenced by British tourists, with more visitors travelling there every year. Turkey played host to over 28.6 million visitors last year, 2.67 million of which were from the UK – an increase of 10% on the year before.

Senior Director from Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Office, Tolga Tuyluoglu said; “Turkey has gone from strength to strength in the UK market and has been one of the fastest-growing destinations for British visitors,” stating the reason for this is due to Turkey’s “excellent value for money”.

The findings have strengthened growing attitude amongst international investors given that property in Turkey can provide some of the best holiday rental returns in Europe. Furthermore the growing popularity of the country dictates that property values are likely to increase considerably over the next few years.
