When mentioning Turkey, the first things that may come to mind are Istanbul, the largest city, or Ankara, the capital, often leading to the oversight of the tourist city of Antalya. In fact, for a long time, Antalya has been highly favored by international investors, and its status is equally significant!
WorldWay learned from the Turkish newspaper "Daily News" that in the first quarter of 2019, a total of 571,207 foreign tourists visited Antalya, a popular holiday destination in Turkey, representing a 25% increase compared to the same period last year. Germans topped the list, followed by Russians and British citizens.
According to data from the Antalya Airport Authority, Germans accounted for 26.5% of the total number of foreign tourists, an 8% increase compared to the same period last year; Russians accounted for 23.93% of the total, an increase of 74% compared to the same period last year; and the British were the third-largest group, accounting for 6.44% of the total, an increase of 58% compared to the same period last year.
The data also shows that people from 140 countries visited Antalya, including France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Iran, Israel, Ukraine, and others. In March alone, Antalya attracted 279,097 foreign tourists. It is worth noting that in 2018, Antalya received 13.6 million foreign tourists, and the target for 2019 is to host 15 million, marking a record-breaking level of tourist numbers for the city!
As Turkey's fourth-largest city, Antalya is also one of the most beautiful regions in the country. Located on the Mediterranean coast, it is the largest city on Turkey's southern coast and features a large, modern international airport, having developed into a tourism hub! In 2011, Antalya beat New York to be voted the third best city to visit in the world by global travelers! The city meets almost all travel needs, offering a blend of a modern metropolis and a historic old town, historical ruins dating from 7500 BC to 5700 BC, and beautiful resort beaches, making Antalya a sought-after holiday destination for everyone!
Most excitingly, more and more new flight routes from around the world to Antalya are being opened! For example, Turkish Airlines recently launched direct flights from London Gatwick Airport in the UK to Antalya Airport. The new route began operations on March 31. A representative from the London airline stated: "With stunning cultural landscapes, beautiful natural scenery, and world-class golf courses, it is easy to understand why Antalya has become a popular destination for thousands of British holidaymakers every year."
WorldWay experts state that in recent years, Turkey's political and social environment has become increasingly stable, its economy has developed rapidly, and its investment environment has improved, attracting the attention of more and more foreign investors. In particular, Turkey's booming tourism industry will bring huge investment opportunities to investors!
Turkey is currently the only major geographical, demographic, and economic power from the Eurasian continent among countries with open, fast-track citizenship programs, and it is the only G20 country to offer a low-cost, fast-track passport program! For those looking to participate in the Turkish investment market, one only needs to invest at least $250,000 in real estate to quickly obtain a Turkish passport for the whole family. The purchased property can be sold after three years, offering both considerable investment returns and a G20 country passport. At the same time, for investors with such needs, depositing the equivalent of $500,000 in a bank operating in Turkey for 3 years can also lead to a fast-track passport for Turkey, an EU candidate country, with self-evident investment value!
