Turkish tourism is growing rapidly
Tourism in Turkey is on the up and despite the big freeze tourists are flocking to the country from all over the globe.
The Turkish tourism industry enjoyed a boost of $23 billion dollars last year, by far exceeding the growth in pre-recession times and, indeed, representing a massive increase of 10.6% on 2010.
Istanbul welcomed 30% more visitors from the Arab world and even the big freeze has failed to put the dampeners on peoples' enthusiasm for visiting Turkey. The country has the massive advantage of being able to offer a huge array of attractions, from cultural interests to a huge coastline.
