Turkey hopes to grow 5% in tourism in 2013

Director of the Promotions Department at the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Cumhur Guven Tasbasi said on December 21 that they did not expect the Turkish tourism sector to grow less than five percent in 2013 although the World Tourism Organization expected global tourism figures to grow around 3-4 percent.

Speaking to the Anadolu Agency (AA), Tasbasi said that small figures in tourism were a result of the global economic crisis.

«Investments in health tourism and sports tourism in 2013 in Turkey will increase,» Tasbasi said.

«Medical tourism, SPA and coastal tourism as well as geriatric tourism will be at the forefront,» Tasbasi stressed.
