As Turkiye recently relaxed all its Covid-19 related travel restrictions for Indian visitors, the country went on to host 27,300 Indian travellers, the highest ever number of travellers from India during the month of June. According to a press release, as the demand for international travel is picking up, this sudden boost to Turkiye tourism from the Indian sector can be attributed to several factors such as the country’s mesmerising destinations, fascinating history, intricate architecture and in addition with the ease of procuring visas for personal and leisure travel. Also, as carriers like Turkish Airlines and IndiGo have resumed direct flights to the country, travelling to Turkiye has become more convenient for Indians.
India has been one of the top source markets for Turkiye and the current peak travelling season has also favoured the numbers immensely. Given that May and October are the most preferred months for Indian tourists to visit Turkiye, the all-time high volume of travellers witnessed in June not only comes as a pleasant surprise for the Turkiye Tourism market, but also indicates that more record-breaking numbers will follow in the coming months, says the press release.
Being the melting pot of heritage, culture, nature, and gastronomy that reflect the diversity of civilisations for centuries, Turkiye is one of the most popular tourist destinations for not only Indian travellers, but also one of the most sought-after countries globally. Additionally, with its highly successful ‘Safe Tourism Certification Programme’ in place, Turkiye expects to welcome an even higher number of international travellers from the world over, all through 2022.
