Türkiye and the UK Strengthen Tourism Ties

New Agreement to Boost Travel and Economic Growth

Türkiye and the United Kingdom have signed a new agreement to enhance cooperation in the tourism sector. The agreement, which was signed by Türkiye's Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy and UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Nadine Dorries, aims to boost tourism between the two countries and promote economic growth.

The agreement includes a number of measures to facilitate travel between Türkiye and the UK, such as the introduction of new visa-free travel for UK citizens visiting Türkiye for up to 90 days. The agreement also includes provisions for joint marketing campaigns, tourism investment, and the exchange of expertise in the tourism sector.

The new agreement is expected to significantly increase tourism between Türkiye and the UK. In 2019, over 2.5 million UK citizens visited Türkiye, making the UK one of Türkiye's top tourism markets. The new agreement is expected to increase this number in the coming years.

The agreement is also expected to boost economic growth in both countries. Tourism is a major industry in Türkiye, and the new agreement is expected to create new jobs and investment in the sector. In the UK, the tourism industry is also a major employer, and the new agreement is expected to boost tourism spending in the UK.

The agreement is a significant step forward in the relationship between Türkiye and the UK. The two countries have a long history of cooperation in the tourism sector, and the new agreement is expected to build on this cooperation and create new opportunities for growth.
