Tourism activity in Istanbul hotels increased by 90%

Istanbul is one of the places that have a tourist activity that attracts more than 10 million foreign tourists since January 2022 and this led to an increase in the occupancy rate in hotels in Turkey by 90%

In August 2022, 1.7 million foreign tourists visited the place.

From January 2022 to August 2022 the number of visitors was 10.2 million.

And those statements according to the statements of the governor of Istanbul" Ali Yerli Kaya"

The Russians were in first place on the list of foreign visitors, then the Germans, then the Iranians, then the Saudis and then the Americans.

Turkey started a good tourist start in 2022 after a very bad tourist activity in 2020 due to travel problems related to COVID-19, which led to a decrease in the number of visitors and tourist profits.

He said occupancy rates at Istanbul hotels rose to 90 percent in September.

Aydin Karakabai, chairman of the Istanbul Hotel Committee, said: "We expect occupancy to remain at 90 percent in October, 60 percent in November and 45 percent in December."

He added that occupancy rates for November and December are expected to increase.

Due to the lack of major problems, tourism activity will always remain strong in Istanbul.

He also added that hotel owners in Turkey are happy with bookings for 2023, and the number of tourists is expected to increase in the first 3 months of 2023 and also expects hotel prices in Turkey to increase by 20% in 2023.

He said the price of rooms fell to 70 euros at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. While now room rates are €120

He said room rates were not at the required level but acceptable for Western countries.

A large percentage of visitors come from Europe with increasing German and British tourists.

Many tourists come from Middle Eastern countries.

But he stressed that tourists from Russia and Ukraine had declined in the war.

Online bookings account for 90% of Istanbul hotel sales, but there are high commissions taken by platforms ranging from 15 to 50%, and these are the biggest problems facing hotel owners.
