Turkey has been voted readers favourite by readers of the highly regarded, Condé Nast travellers magazine. Turkey was given a score of 94.81%, after readers of the magazine scored the world’s destinations on 10 criteria including value, and service. Turkey also scored highest in the world for value and range of accommodation.
“This is a testament to the massive growth in Turkey’s popularity as a tourist destination,” said Aydin Cakir, director of New Home in Turkey. “Turkey is a great place, with a growing infrastructure, low living costs, and friendly environment. Thus, it is unsurprising that more tourists would lead to Turkey winning awards such as the Condé Nast.”
The Turkish tourism has recently said that tourism to Turkey grew by over 9% year on year in the first half of this year. Tourism from Britain is up 15% in the first seven months of this year compared to last year according to the Turkish tourism office in the UK. ABTA recently said that Turkish tourism has been growing at 20-25% per year for the last few years.
With such growth, many have been waiting for an award like this; they believed it would only be a matter of time.
The award is also good news for those involved in the Turkish property market. This is because it will increase Turkey’s exposure to new tourists, who will see it as more worthy of giving it a try. This will boost rental yields, make Turkish property more attractive to investors, and bring more people to fall in love with Turkey and buy holiday homes.
There will also be the indirect effect of increasing economic, which could push up property values.
