2022 tourist arrivals in Türkiye’s Antalya may exceed 12 million

In the tourist “capital” of Türkiye – Antalya, a high tourist flow was recorded, especially from Germany, Russia and the UK.

Antalya is the leader among the tourist regions of Türkiye in terms of the number of five-star hotels.

The number of foreigners who have arrived in Antalya from abroad since the beginning of the year has exceeded 8.5 million.

The peak of the tourist flow to Antalya came in 2019, when about 16 million people came for holidays here.

Over the past two years, against the backdrop of the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of tourists in Türkiye, as well as around the world, has decreased. This is evidenced by the indicators of 2021, when about 9 million tourists came to Antalya.

With the beginning of the current year, the arrivals of tourists began to increase again.

The head of the Association of Hoteliers of the Mediterranean Region of Türkiye (AKTOB), Erkan Yagci, said that the tourist flow to Antalya is approaching the figures of 2019.

“Since the beginning of the year, we have reached 90% -95% of the tourist flow of the record 2019. If the influx of tourists continues, then by the end of the year we will achieve another record, well above the pre-pandemic level,” he said.

At the same time, tourism sector representatives aim to attract tourists from European countries, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Germany, and the UK.

It is possible that the tourist flow to Antalya by the end of the year will exceed 12 million.
