’Crisis hits the sector’
İşleyen said the global crisis was affecting tourism sector. "We believe new tourism opportunities in Turkey will be introduced to international tourism traders at the fair. We hope the tourism industry will overcome the global crisis by looking to alternative countries that are taking part in the fair. According to the World Tourism Organization, the tourism industry will shrink in the short term due to the global crisis. This is a significant threat to Turkish tourism, which receives tourists mainly from European countries. Travel Turkey will be a chance for traders to look at ways of overcoming the effects of the crisis."
