Published 18 Aug,2021 via Hürriyet Daily News - The number tourists arriving in Antalya, one of Turkey’s hottest holiday destinations on the Mediterranean coast, has exceeded 4.3 million since the start of the year.
The coronavirus pandemic dealt a blow to tourism activity in the province last year. However, this year, hotels and other accommodation venues in Antalya took necessary measures under the Safe Tourism Certificate Program to ensure holidaymakers enjoy a safe stay during their stay.
Data from the local tourism authority showed that a total of 4.35 million tourists flew into the province between Jan. 1 and Aug. 15, despite the ongoing coronavirus outbreak globally. This marked a significant 203 percent increase in the same period of 2020.
