In this regard, Turkey wants to develop and create other tourist destinations. In particular, excursion, religious and gastronomic reasons, as well as shopping tours.

“We have something to show, what to do, except passive rest on the beach. Our country has a rich history and interesting cultural traditions. We will pay more attention to advertising less demanded tourism destinations,” emphasized the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey.
