Title: Turkey reveals plan to support beleaguered tourism sector
Post by: JohnF on February 23, 2016, 10:14:28 AM
The glove puppet has spoken.

All sounds good...  for big businesses.  Nowt in there to help the little guys (that I can see), who will be the biggest losers this year.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced an action plan on Feb. 22 to support Turkey’s tourism sector, which has been negatively affected recently by tensions with Russia and security concerns.

The support package included a 255-million-Turkish-Lira ($87 million) grant and several mechanisms which will enable tourism firms to restructure their debts.

“Nobody should expect Turkey to become introverted or change its axis amid many tensions around. On the contrary, we’ll open abroad more,” said Davutoğlu in a speech launching the new tourism support package.
