The current economic situation has caused an immense increase in demand for flights to Turkey, a major British airport hasStrength of Euro Arouses Interest in Turkey disclosed.
Services to coastal resorts including Bodrum, Dalaman and Antalya have become extremely popular with flyers over the past three months. Reasons for this trend include the fact that the current exchange rate with the lira is very favourable while the pound remains weak against the euro.
In the last year, figures have revealed a 17% increase in the number of people flying outside of the EU. As the strength of the pound has dropped considerably, this is most likely due to the fact that people want to get the most for their money and are aware that travelling within the EU is currently uneconomical.
The Association of British Travel Agents recently affirmed that Turkey has become a main destination for British holidaymakers this summer with the number of bookings of flights to Turkey rising by approximately 20% each year.
