An article in todays paper stated that tourism is down in Egypt and Turkey.When we visited Calis in June it seemed quite busy,and most of the restaurants had customers in.If you have just returned home what is your opinion.

Incidently my workmate has just returned from Lanzarote and was surprised how quiet it was out there,only a few people in some bars and eating places.Apparantly the resorts will not lower their prices like other islands in the Canaries.

Are these articles propaganda to encourage hols in the Eurozone

Quiet everywhere we went badge although I agree with tink but Turkish tourists.

Hope it picks up but, selfishly, not too much.

Same up the mountain Geoff, loads of people (Turkish) not spending in the bars and restaurants though, does not look good.

Point taken. But I was asked by a young lad outside a shop in Fethiye where all the English people were.
