Brighter days for tourism in Turkey?

The Turkish international tourism sector’s revenue dropped by over one third compared to the previous season, according to a report by the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News. The drop is driven by the travel ban imposed by Russia on Turkish holiday destinations, alongside other factors. The total number of Russian tourists visiting Turkey peaked in 2014 at 4.5 million, falling to 3.5 million in 2015 and plummeting further to 766,871 last year.
