Due to the Turkish religious holiday of Eid al-Adha and the nine-day weekend, in Turkey The huge rush of local tourists to resorts began again. As a result, the majority of the Turkish population began to rapidly book hotel rooms within a few days, which led to a sharp increase in prices for foreign tourists as well.
Russian tourists from Bordum recently complained about the rapid rise in prices and the huge number of Turkish vacationers, according to whom “the vacation has turned into some kind of nightmare.” As reported to our journalists by the publication “Hurriyet”, over the past week in Bordum More than 500 thousand tourists arrived, 150 of which were locals.
In addition to the tourism sector, there was also a rush in the business sector. Due to such a large number of arrivals, prices for absolutely everything have skyrocketed by about 35%. For example, if a meal in a restaurant would have previously cost a tourist about $5, now it will cost no less than $8. A similar situation is happening with taxis, car rentals, and even grocery stores. And this is not to mention the prices for souvenirs for tourists, who apparently decided to recoup several years of coronavirus unprofitability.
A similar situation is currently happening in the resorts of Antalya and Cesme, where Russian tourists are simply shocked by both the sudden influx of Turks and the sharp rise in prices.
