Revenues have surged due to a sharp increase in tourists as well as their individual average expenditure, which was $795 per person. Turkey obtained 77.9 percent of tourism income from foreign visitors and 22.1 percent from Turkish citizens residing abroad.Despite the figures, the sector has been struggling as crisis-hit rivals Greece and Egypt maintain reduced hotel prices from the previous year, forcing Turks to reciprocate in order to remain competitive.
