Turkey Resources

Turkey

Turkey is a beautiful country, with fantastic beaches, cosmopolitan cities, self-contained towns and gorgeous little fishing villages dotted along the extensive coast. Turkey, on the whole, offers excellent value for money; accommodation, travel, food and drink generally cost next to nothing. The country is famed for it’s rich cultural heritage, and the unendingly friendly people; wherever you visit, it’s a given that the locals appreciate the tourism and treat you as a long lost friend.

A popular holiday destination; in 2008 Turkey had more than 30 million foreign visitors, creating a tourism revenue of nearly $14 billion, and 2007 brought over 23 million visitors to Turkey. The number of tourists in Turkey for 2008 was up on 2007’s figures; testament to the country’s increasing popularity, and a reaction to the Government's continuous investment in tourism.

In 2008 completed Turkish real estate sales to foreigners rose by 59% and Turkey's National Statistics institute predicts that, due to this increasing investment, the population will rise to as much as 5.5 million in 2010 . An astounding 68,000 Britons now live in Turkey for at least part of the year. Due to the increasing house prices in the UK, many savvy investors are taking the opportunity to sell up, or remortgage and invest in property overseas, and this is no different in Turkey.
