KUŞADASI which is one of the most popular tourist destinations of Turkey is reported to have hosted 145 cruise ships in 2018.  The town is looking forward to receiving 195 ships with more than 170 thousand tourists this year.

In a statement made by the officials in charge of EGE Port, it was shared that the reservations for 2019 were going well to raise hopes of businesses in town for current year.

It was also informed in the same statement that 145 of the 247 cruise ships coming to Turkey in January-October 2018 period had called at KUŞADASI port. Professionals say it is good for Turkey’s tourism that big firms are shifting their services to Turkey again

Also KUSADASI will be welcoming nearly 90 thousand tourists on 60 voyages to be realized by Maltese-flagged vessels in 2019.

Just to remind KUSADASI has always been top of the list as far as prominent tourism spots in Turkey are concerned.  It is located very close to Izmir, one of the mega cities of Turkey and certainly contributes to Izmir as well in this regard.

Turkey’s administration is aware of the benefits cruise ships would contribute to tourism revenues and therefore new projects are underway to make Istanbul a hub for cruise tourism as well.
