The tourist industry is of high importance to the Turkish economy. It is estimated that over 10 million tourists visit this country yearly. This creates over 10 million jobs for Turkish citizens. Turkey is currently in the world’s top 20 tourist destinations, although it remains a relatively undiscovered land for tourists.
The country consists of beautiful coastlines, mountains, lakes and is full of historical and religious sites to visit. There are still undiscovered opportunities for further development in the tourist industry. The largest numbers of tourists are from Germany, Russia, USSR, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France. Turkish travel has become a dream for many when they learn of the historical and beautiful sites to witness with their own eyes.
