Russian tourists have become less likely to use the early booking service for hotels in Turkey.
The reason is related to American sanctions.
The Turkish newspaper Ekonomim reports on this.
The latest US sanctions have also affected ordinary citizens who prefer to book hotels in advance. This way, travelers have been able to save money.
But American sanctions against Gazprombank now prevent long-term tourism plans from being made.
The rise in the exchange rate, sanctions against Gazprombank and the UnionPay payment system have increased the state of uncertainty.
Early hotel booking services are no longer particularly popular, Turkish travel experts have concluded.
For its part, Turkey must monitor the development of the situation and develop measures to mitigate the effects of sanctions, as the country is heavily dependent on tourism and the flow of travelers from Russia.
