Professionals in tourism sector have said Fethiye region is expected to start the 2021 season with Russian and Ukrainian tourists as of the end of April as uncertainty in the British market will continue until April 5.

Top person of a tourism association has shared that air flights Russia and Ukraine will have by the end of April and the 2021 tourist season will open with Russian and Ukrainian tourists. Explaining that uncertainty continues in the British market, the region’s largest tourist market, he noted that the sector will be looking forward to hearing what British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has to say on April 5.

He also added following; “The British market is the main market in the tourism sector for Fethiye, Dalaman and Marmaris, covering the region and the UK market will take action late this year due to the pandemic. Our biggest tourist market in this region is the UK market. Because of the known pandemic process, the British government has imposed a ban on its citizens to travel abroad.

British tourists would not come to our country until May 16 during this ban. Gradually, this restriction can also be extended until June 22. Two days ago only, the British government announced that it had decided to impose a fine of 5 thousand pounds to its citizens to go abroad without on unnecessary grounds.

So it seems that there will be no tourists from the UK to our country until the end of June. However, British citizens have expressed their reaction to the decision taken by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and said they wanted to travel on holiday.

We’ll decide the season opening date after that announcement

After these reactions, it is reported that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will share his statement on April 5. Thus, we will also decide on the season opening date in accordance with the announcement which will be made on April 5. Facilities in our region continue to take and implement all kinds of measures within the scope of Covid-19 health tourism certificate.
