(MENAFN) Reza Perçin, Chairman of the Representative Council of the Federation of Turkish Travel Agencies in the Mediterranean Region, anticipates a landmark year for tourism in the state of Antalya, projecting a record-breaking influx of visitors surpassing 16 million in 2024. Perçin expressed confidence in the optimistic outlook, citing robust reservation numbers and promising early indicators from key source markets such as Britain, Poland, and various European cities.
Highlighting the positive momentum heading into the tourism season, Perçin affirmed expectations of concluding the year with over 16.5 million tourists, firmly asserting that 2024 will witness unprecedented levels of tourist arrivals, setting a new benchmark for the region. This ambitious projection comes on the heels of Antalya welcoming 15,689,258 tourists in the previous year.

As the tourism industry continues to rebound from the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential for sustained growth and prosperity in Antalya's tourism landscape in the coming year.
