TÜİK revised tourism statistics

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) issued a written statement regarding the revision work conducted on tourism statistics. In the statement, it was noted that tourism revenue and expenditure calculated within the scope of tourism statistics are estimated using information compiled through surveys and administrative records by TÜİK. It was also indicated that supportive administrative data began to be used alongside survey data in 2022, leading to significant improvements in the quality of tourism statistics. The statement conveyed that with this revision, which is a continuation of these improvements, data regarding day-trip visitors obtained from the General Directorate of Security has been incorporated. Additionally, updates have been made in calculations regarding the type of border crossings (sea, rail, air, land) and in the sampling design. The statement emphasized that as a result of these efforts, the planned revisions regarding tourism statistics have been completed. It was further mentioned that changes in the calculation methods used in the current 'Outbound Visitors Survey' and 'Citizen Entry Survey' studies will be published alongside the 'Tourism Statistics 2024 Quarterly Bulletin for the 1st Quarter' on April 30th at 10:00 AM.

Our markets with the highest increase this year were Germany and Poland. England, Romania, Türkiye and Russia remained our main markets.” “We will continue to grow with new investments” Tayfun Turanlıoğlu said, “We are also assertive in the field of meetings and organizations.

"We also hosted various events in fields such as culture, art and education," and added: “We recently opened our latest facility, Selectum City Ataşehir. With this hotel, we offer an accommodation alternative in the business and financial center of Istanbul. We will continue new investments in 2024.

Thus, we aim to open new employment areas while contributing to tourism.” “We will increase our share in both sea and land tourism” Selectum Hotels & Resort Executive Board Member Tayfun Turanlıoğlu concluded his words as follows: “The latest data announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute shows that there was a 27% increase in tourism revenues in the first 6 months of this year compared to last year.
