The Turkish Tourism Board in India shared that a total of 16 million international visitors arrived in Turkey in the year 2020 and the revenue that emerged from international tourism and visitors arrivals stood at $12.1 billion.
Turkey is targeting to welcome 30 million international visitors in 2021. Turkey was amongst the first few countries to open its borders for tourism after implementing stringent measures like Safe Tourism Certification to safeguard health of tourists and those involved with touristic activities.
Tourists travelling to Turkey from many different countries return to their countries healthy and safe having spent their holidays in certified facilities in Turkey.
In regard to Indian tourist arrivals, Turkey registered a number of 45,000 tourist arrivals. Out of these, 30,000 travelled to Turkey between January – March 2020. Turkey is open to all foreign visitors including Indians since June this year. Once the restriction on international flight is lifted in India, the flights between both the countries will resume immediately.
