Turcia a atras peste 25 de milioane de turiști străini în primele șase luni din 2026

Turkey welcomed 25.8 million international visitors in the first half of 2026, slightly down from 26.4 million in 2025. Despite this, tourism revenue remained stable at $25.8 billion. Regional tensions and global uncertainties impacted tourist demand, although Turkey itself was not involved in conflicts. The minister expects improved performance in the tourism sector for the second half of the year. The average stay increased by 0.5% to 10.01 nights, with average spending per night rising by 2.6% to $109. The top three source markets for Turkish tourism were Russia, Germany, and the UK.
