From January 1 to June 30, Antalya welcomed 6.2 million foreign tourists. The country sending the most tourists was Russia, with 1.45 million visitors. Germany followed with 1.325 million tourists, and the United Kingdom was third with 650,000 holidaymakers. Additionally, 460,000 tourists came from Poland.
The visa exemption granted to Romania had a positive impact on the number of tourists from this country. By the end of May, there was a 15% increase compared to the same period last year, resulting in 90,000 Romanians vacationing in the city.
Future prospects
Antalya aims to reach 18 million visitors by the end of the year. A surge in reservations is expected following the European Football Championship.
