turkishdailynews.com.tr Russia, which has had a notable share in the increase of tourism in Turkey, has stirred up optimism in Turkey's tourism sector.
In 2008, approximately 3 million people will apply for a passport for the first time in Russia, according to official channels. The number of people acquiring new passports is parallel to the increase in the country's per capita income. Accordingly, Turkish tour operators in Russia have accelerated their promotional activities, expecting to draw at least 1 million new Russians passport holders next year.
In 2007, the Russian Federation and the countries in Commonwealth of Independent States have been among the important markets for Turkey, said Mediterranean Hoteliers' Union Chairman Osman Ayýk. In the first eight months of 2007, some 1.37 million tourists came to Turkey from Russia. This figure will exceed 2 million by the end of the year, Ayýk said.
