Türkiye is shooting for tourism revenues of $100 billion by 2028, over double last year's figure of $46 billion, the deputy culture and tourism minister said.
Türkiye is taking quick, bold steps to become one of the world's top tourism destinations, Nadir Alpaslan told a meeting in the southeastern province of Gaziantep on Wednesday.
Following the pandemic dampening travel worldwide, Türkiye's Tourism Promotion and Development Agency helped the country's sector make a rapid recovery, he said.
The country's tourism revenues totaled $38.9 billion in 2019 but fell to $14.8 billion in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions.
While Türkiye's tourism revenues in 2021 reached $30.2 billion, last year they jumped to $46.3 billion, according to official data.
