The Tourist Industry is very small Beer (if allowed to speak of Alchohol) as a percentage of the whole Turkish Economy
Do you have any facts to back that up John? Ok, let me provide some.
In 2008, the number of visitors rose to 30,929,192, who contributed $21.9 billion to Turkey's revenues. For 2011, the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) reported 34,654,000 arrivals and US$25 billion in receipts for Turkey. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, in 2012 travel and tourism made a total contribution of
10.9% to Turkish GDP and supported
8.3% of all jobs in the country.
Quite large beer then.
