Turkey fears a decline in the number of tourists from Russia
It has become known what problem worries representatives of Turkish business.
Due to payment problems caused by US sanctions, many tourists from Russia may not be able to travel abroad.
RIA Novosti reports this with reference to Turkish media.
It is noted that the restrictions imposed on Gazprombank have already affected the situation in Turkey. In particular, since December 5, a decrease in the rate of booking of travel packages has been noted here.
According to Firuz Baglikaya, President of the Association of Travel Agencies TÜRSAB, Ankara should reconsider its pricing policy towards Russians in order to make the country more attractive to travelers from Russia.
He noted that early booking for next year’s season has already started in Russia.
And if last year Russians demonstrated serious interest in holidays in Turkey, now early booking is showing slow growth rates.
Currently, Russian citizens are experiencing problems with transfers abroad, and payment processes have also become significantly more difficult.
