Uraloğlu evaluated the data on the number of cruise ships and passengers anchored in Turkey's ports to AA correspondent.
Pointing out that Turkey is among the countries in demand in tourism, Uraloğlu stated that this situation is also reflected in the number of cruise ships and passengers.
Reminding that tourist arrivals to the country increased with the start of the summer, Uraloğlu said, "The number of cruise passengers also increases in the summer period. The number of cruise passengers, which was 88 thousand 566 in April, increased to 176 thousand 840 in May.
In June, 183 thousand 407 passengers and in July 209 thousand 33 passengers arrived. While 341 thousand 556 cruise passengers came to our country in the May-June-July period last year, this year it reached 569 thousand 280 with an increase of 66.7 percent in the same period.

Underlining that they have been investing in cruise tourism for many years, Uraoğlu said, "The contributions of our investments in cruise ports to tourism and the country's economy are reflected in the figures. We predict that record passenger numbers will be reached by the end of the year. At the end of the year, we expect the number of passengers arriving in the country in this way to exceed 1 million. I think this number will continue to increase in the coming years.”
