Dutch tourists choose Turkey as top holiday destination
Unfazed by the anti-Turkey propaganda across Europe, particularly in the Netherlands, Dutch tourists have opted for Turkey in large numbers, choosing it as "the best holiday destination."
In a survey conducted by Corendon Touristic, a prominent tour operator based in Turkey, Dutch tourists have chosen Turkey as the best holiday spot, giving it a score of 8.5 out of ten 10, followed by Spain and Greece.
The interest of Dutch tourists in Turkey has multiplied, particularly over the last month. Even though holiday packages to Turkey, Spain, and Greece are sold almost at the same price, many Dutch tourists could find flights to come to Turkey.
Partner at Corendon Touristic, Atılay Uslu said the number of tourists to Turkey from the Netherlands and Belgium has increased by at least 30 percent over the last month, compared to the same period last year.
Underscoring the growing interest of Dutch tourists in Turkey, Uslu said that the capacities have almost reached the limits and has led to a shortage in flights.
He revealed that Corendon Touristic brings almost 1,200 Dutch tourists and 400 Belgian tourists every day and said, "The Dutch used to stop coming around August and September, but this time around it seems their holiday season might extend well into mid-November."
Interestingly, the survey results were positive. Though some 47 percent said they were afraid before coming to Turkey, 96 percent felt safe during their holiday and 89 percent expressed their wish to visit Turkey again. When asked about their level of satisfaction with the holiday in Turkey, they chose the country as the top destination with a score of 8.5, leaving Spain and Greece behind.
