Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2015 -- Turkey's tourism market shows signs of healthy growth, with robust increases in arrivals forecast for the 2015-2018 period. This is likely to lead to a range of other positive developments for key market indicators, particularly hotel numbers. Alongside this investment, the government and private sector are investing heavily in transport infrastructure.

We expect to see total tourist arrivals increase by 6.5mn between 2015 and 2018, taking the number of journeys to Turkey in 2018 to 44.9mn, a significant increase on previous forecasts. This increase is due to improving economic growth and increased consumer spending across most of Turkey's key source markets, continued investment in tourism and transport infrastructure in the country, and the prospect of effective marketing of Turkey's many tourism assets. Arrivals may also be boosted by travellers avoiding other unstable destinations in the Middle East and North Africa due to security concerns, just as Turkey's domestic security concerns seem to be easing, as well as high-spending Russian tourists avoiding EU destinations in the wake of EU sanctions against Russia. A diverse group of source markets means that this growth is likely to be resilient to regional downward pressure on arrivals as Turkey begins to increase its proportion of arrivals from the Middle East.

Outbound travel is expected to record higher growth rates than arrivals, though the total figure will still be much smaller in 2018, at an estimated 8.9mn.

Several of the world's leading hotel chains are opening dozens of new hotels across the country in light of these positive indicators for growth. Work is also under way to significantly boost Turkey's air travel infrastructure, which delivers the majority of tourists to the country,...
