Gov to try to help tourism sector
« on: February 22, 2016, 12:32:22 PM »
today's hurriyetdailynews:

TUI, the world’s largest tour operator, this month reported a 40 percent drop in summer bookings to Turkey due to safety concerns, while eight cruise companies have canceled cruises to Turkey over security concerns according to the chamber of commerce in the Aegean province of İzmir.

“To recover the sector’s losses, we will offer a total of 255 million liras of support and postpone the sector’s payments at around 288 million liras [$97.6 million], spreading the repayment of their debts into installments,” said Davutoğlu.

Can't help thinking that the best way the Turkish government could help the tourist industry would be to stop Turkey getting into the world news reports every day.

   Exactly Martyn! the media have played a big part in deterring British tourists for sure; there is a general ignorance as to the geography of Turkey and when I tell people the UK has a higher security alert status than Turkey and that actually Kalkan to the Syrian border is further than London to Prague there is usually a look of pure incredulity. Sadly people believe they are "safer" in Europe, well HELLO! . . . . . Paris?
