According to data released by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMİ) of Turkey, passenger traffic at Turkish airports reached 41.15 million from January to April this year, a year-on-year increase of 72.6%. Among them, the number of international passengers reached 19.8 million, an increase of 134% compared to the same period last year. Istanbul Airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe, served 15.9 million passengers between January and April 2022, with passenger traffic growing by 109% and the number of international tourists increasing by 111% compared to last year, reaching 11.9 million.

 

Meanwhile, according to Turkey's official Anadolu Agency, the renowned Turkish resort destination of Bodrum hopes to attract 1.5 million foreign tourists in 2022, a figure that exceeds pre-pandemic levels. During the pandemic, Bodrum, like other parts of the world, faced a sharp decline in foreign tourists. However, with the improvement of the pandemic situation and the adjustment of epidemic prevention restrictions, life in many places has begun to return to normal, the tourism industry has started to recover, and Bodrum has had a strong start to 2022.

 

The Mayor of Bodrum stated that 150 cruise ships that had been away from Bodrum for two years will return in 2022, expected to bring 203,000 foreign tourists to the city. He said: "Ferry services from Greek islands have already started, and the demand for direct flights is increasing. In other words, the number of tourists arriving by sea and air will exceed 2019 levels. This year, we will welcome more than 1.5 million foreign tourists." He also emphasized that while many tourist regions in Turkey are striving to reach pre-pandemic levels by 2023, Bodrum will surpass this level in 2022, becoming a major tourist destination in the Mediterranean.

 

It can be said that Turkey's tourism industry is experiencing a strong recovery. The growth in passenger traffic at Turkish airports is a testament to this recovery! The resurgence of Turkey's tourism industry will further drive its economic development. For those interested in immigrating to Turkey, now is an excellent time. Starting June 13, the investment threshold for Turkish citizenship by investment through real estate purchase will increase from $250,000 to $400,000! This means that the Turkish citizenship by investment program requiring only a $250,000 investment will become history! For investors, now is the time to seize the opportunity of the old policy and catch the last train for the $250,000 Turkish investment immigration program. If you are interested, please contact Worldway as soon as possible.

 

Turkey spans both Asia and Europe, implements the European model in political, cultural, and economic fields, and is an EU candidate country, a NATO member, as well as a founding member of the OECD and a member of the G20. With a solid industrial foundation, it is one of the world's emerging economies and one of the fastest-growing countries globally. Its unique geographical location, vibrant workforce, and stable political and economic environment make Turkey an important strategic investment destination and a preferred choice for investors planning their identity.

 

Currently, the Turkish deposit-based immigration program is also highly favored. Investors can deposit $500,000 or an equivalent amount in foreign currency to apply for a Turkish passport for their entire family. The Turkish deposit-based immigration program has simple and convenient procedures, fast approval times, and no requirements for language, education, residency, proof of source of funds, or criminal record certificates. The entire process can be handled domestically, and multiple Turkish banks can facilitate remote account opening without the need for a visit! For investors, moving their savings to a new location to gain both wealth and a new identity is a multi-benefit move. After 3 years, the deposit can be withdrawn at any time, and interest can be earned. More importantly, investors enjoy capital freedom and minimal requirements; meeting the deposit criteria is sufficient.

 

At the same time, holders of a Turkish passport can have their children receive high-quality education in Turkey or receive international education without leaving the country, aligning with European and American education systems and increasing the chances of entering world-renowned universities. Furthermore, if children choose to return to China for their career, they can easily enroll in top domestic universities, such as Tsinghua University or Peking University, as international students without taking written exams. A Turkish identity provides children with more choices for the future, easily achieving a "dual-track" education plan!
