Turkey's star shined again in the field of tourism this year, as Turkey was able to overcome the crises that faced the tourism sector globally during the Corona pandemic by taking sound steps in the field of tourism.

In an interview with Mehmet İşler, Vice President of the Federation of Operators and Workers in the Turkish Hotel Sector, to the Turkish Anadolu Agency, he said that Turkey witnessed a good and exceptional tourist season this year, and stated that the large number of tourists during this season is an indication of the success achieved by Turkish tourism through cooperation between the two sectors, public and private, in order to find effective solutions to the crises and problems facing the field of tourism.

It is worth noting that the current statistics show that reservations for the winter tourism season for this year have recorded an increase of 25% compared to the previous year, and most of these tourists are Europeans who have taken Turkey as a tourist destination for them, in order to escape from the high prices and costs of living in Europe, as mentioned by Mehmet Işler. "When European tourists come to our country, they can enjoy a peaceful natural atmosphere, a healthy diet, eliminate exorbitant bills in their home countries, get good service, and participate in a wide range of sports and social activities," he said.

He added, "We will organize tourism offers under the supervision of a team of specialists. These offers include sports and social activities, in addition to offers related to medical tourism and diet."

And he added, "Turkish tourism offers have received wide interest in European countries, especially UK, Germany, the Netherlands and central European countries."

Mehmet İşler expected that the tourism sector in Turkey will receive more than 47 million tourists this year, noting that the goal is to attract 53 million tourists in the next year 2023.
