2025 Expected to Be the “Super Early Reservation” Year for Turkish Tourism
2025 is expected to be a “super early reservation” year for Turkish tourism, with tourists booking their vacations earlier than usual. Early reservation periods started in October, showing a 20% increase abroad and a 40% increase domestically.
2025 is very likely to be a “super early reservation” year for Turkey. The earthquakes in the Greek islands have prompted many tourists to choose Turkey for safety reasons, further boosting its appeal.
Germany is showing significant interest, with a 6% increase in reservations and Turkey ranking first for the most bookings, surpassing countries like Spain, Greece, and Egypt. There is also strong demand from the UK, while Russia has seen a stagnation in bookings. The domestic market is experiencing a positive trend, with Antalya aiming for 18 million tourists in 2025.
Tourism professionals expect new records to be set, especially with the ongoing shift from Greek islands to Turkey.
Visa-free foreign holidays and beach vacations are seeing high demand, with cultural tours also becoming popular.
Overall, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for Turkish tourism, with rising interest from European countries and the impact of recent events in Greece contributing to the country’s growing appeal as a travel destination.
