Brits set to continue visiting Turkey to get value for money

Turkey is expected to remain popular among British travellers over the coming years as a result of the value for money on offer in the country.

Research released by Euromonitor International at the World Travel Market (WTM) Vision conference in London also highlighted the growth that Turkey has experienced as a result of political unrest in north Africa and the Middle East, which diverted visitors away from the region.

Greece also saw the benefit of recent events in countries such as Tunisia and Egypt, while Spain is ‘holding up’ despite the strength of the euro, the report states.

One of the main factors in the enduring popularity of Spanish destinations is the substantial price reductions that have been implemented by holiday companies and tour operators.

Looking at the UK’s outbound travel industry in general, Euromonitor International predicted that levels of spending by tourists will return to pre-recession levels over the coming years, although departure numbers will remain below the 2008 peak.

WTM chairman Fiona Jeffery said: ‘The UK’s outbound market will take some time to get back to the levels of 2008, although the expenditure will be back within a few years, thanks to customers prioritising value for money over price.’

Turkey is readily very popular among travelers from worldwide destination but recently it has earned its fame as a wedding tourism destination. The couples coming to the country for wedding are primarily from Middle eastern countries such as;Lebanon, Jordan, Iran and Greece, where Greeks take Turkey flights because they consider it a holy place. However it is to be noted that wedding at Turkey is quite expensive only the couples from wealthy families can afford to get married here, but despite the high rates here daughters of royal families from Middle-East wait in line to get married at the country. Turkey is a newly established wedding tourism destination but it has become a popular venue for marriage ceremonies and just in Istanbul 100 weddings took place last year.

Visitors take flights to Turkey for its exotic coastlines, magnificent landscapes, and scenic beauty that all are making it a perfect a perfect choice for your wedding abroad. The venue for wedding and gala is decided in consultation with the couple. The relatives of couple come to the venue in charter planes. Proceeding for wedding is carried out in already appointed Orthodox Church and meal is served at wedding gala’s venue. After this party is over the couple goes to any of the finest places at Istanbul for honeymoon. This makes their cheap flights to Turkey a precious memory for life time.

This tourism category has earned its fame not only for the beauty of the country but the presentation and advertising of this tourism activity received from media especially Gumus, a popular soap opera that is seen daily by more than four million viewers just in Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most popular television dramas ever broadcast in Arab countries. Taking cheap flights to Turkey and attending this event is a best treat you may give to yourself. A number of travel and tour companies are operating in the country to make your wedding at this country take place. They do make all the arrangement for your wedding their self including; photography, decoration, video-graphy, florists, wedding cake, and musicians. These companies are trying very hard to capture flights to Turkey from UK and other destinations, a sincere effort that has brought in customers from England, Ireland, Belgium, Russia, and many other places as well as from Middle East

Turkey, the UK’s Favourite Destination

The UK weather is rapidly becoming colder and UK residents may be thinking of embarking on a short break during the upcoming winter season. Turkish beaches seem to be at the very top of the destinations list for such breaks during 2010.

According to new figures released by UK market research agency, GfK, Brits embarking on beach holidays seem to favour Turkish beaches above all others. GfK’s figures were released ahead of the World Travel Market, which is set to be held in London mid-November. The figures have also shown that Turkey is one of the top five destinations for growth in the UK travel market.

This new popularity is mostly due to the all-inclusive holiday market seeing steady growth and the number of operators providing packages for Turkey. However, it’s not only the Brits who enjoy Turkey’s beach holidays, the Mediterranean nation expects its tourism sector to expand by more than 12% between 2010 and 2013, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.[…]

Turkey’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, Ertugrul Gunay, said “Turkish tourism has been a spectacular success this year and the future remains bright, with visitor numbers continuing to grow.”

He may well be right, as the nation’s largest city, Istanbul, was voted European Capital of Culture during 2010.[…]
