Early reservation figures point to a new record in tourism. There is particularly strong demand from Germany. It is expected that the number of German tourists, which was 6 million last year, will reach 7.5 million.

Exchange rates increased significantly below inflation last year. The Turkish Lira became relatively more valuable. A holiday in Turkey for foreigners is no longer as cheap as in previous years. However, there has been an increase in early reservations from Germany. Industry officials expect the number of German tourists to rise from 6 million to 7.5 million. The increase in demand is not limited to Germans, as there is also strong demand from other countries. Industry officials note a 15-20% increase in early reservations across Turkey, emphasizing that the figure in the Aegean Region being in the tens of percents is satisfying. Turkey is aiming for 64 million tourists and $65 billion in revenue in tourism this year.

Industry experts state that the levels of early reservations signal a record.
