Turkish tourism professionals take action against Greece

The disappointment experienced in holiday resorts that have exceeded a 90% occupancy rate in the past two years and the long queues to get to the Greek islands have mobilized tourism professionals. Tourism professionals in the Aegean Region have decided to demand the removal of the visa application at the border for the Greek islands.

Greece, which aims to attract Turkish holidaymakers to its islands through the visa-on-arrival application, has achieved its goal with the start of the tourism season. Turkish holidaymakers formed long queues to get to the Greek islands. On the other side of the coin, Turkey's popular holiday resorts remained empty. Many holiday resorts, especially Bodrum, Çeşme, and Datça, are much quieter compared to previous years. Tourism professionals attribute this quietness to three main reasons:

The European Football Championship reduced the number of tourists coming from Europe, and activity will begin after EURO 2024.The high cost in the accommodation and food sectors has made favorite holiday resorts less attractive to holidaymakers.The visa-on-arrival application for the Greek islands and the fact that Greece is cheaper than Turkey affected tourist numbers.

Looking at the numbers, both cheaper holiday opportunities and the visa-on-arrival application have led to a significant increase in the number of domestic tourists going to Greece. As a result, Turkish tourism operators, who do not want to lose more domestic tourists to Greece, have decided to demand the removal of the visa-free travel application to Greece.

Cancellation of the visa-on-arrival will revitalize the Aegean Region Tourism professionals, especially those in the Aegean Region, are preparing to demand the cancellation of visa-free travel and the visa-on-arrival application to the Greek islands. Turkish tourism operators argue that the removal of the visa-on-arrival application will particularly revitalize the tourism sector in the Aegean Region. At the upcoming meeting, various alternative solutions will be presented to lift the visa-on-arrival application for the Greek islands. Additionally, issues such as reaching Turkey's tourism sector targets in terms of tourist numbers and tourism revenue, the potential for job creation, and increasing tourism diversity will be discussed.
