Not a good look overall for first timers.
But still preferable to rows of hotels closed down in August. I agree with Anne, if some can't make it through the main summer months, many more will struggle to make it through the season and be back for 2017. In my view the British Press (you know which ones) have as much to do with this as any other factor. The Turkey they portray would put me right off, if I didn't know it better.
People will go bust and children will go hungry when waiters, cleaners etc get told it's all over - and papers like the Mail and the Express helped make that happen. And following up half a dozen scare/fabricated stories about Turkey isn't balanced out by the once in a while feature page on how great Hillside Beach Club is.
