‘‘No fall in the numbers of tourists due to come from Russia’’


The Academic Member Dr. Dilbar Guliyeva from the Department of Tourist Guiding of the Istanbul Gelisim University, who made some evaluations within the framework of the Tourism Week with relation to the future of tourism, Ramadan Feast and War between Ukraine-Russia, indicated that the Ramadan Feast would bring activity in the domestic arena (market).


While the world is giving a hard challenge against the Covid-19 epidemic on the one hand, the eyes keep on focusing on the effects, created by the War between Ukraine-Russia, on the other. It is an issue of concern whether there would be a decrease in the numbers of incoming tourists together with the effects of the war of Russia that creates an important source of tourists especially for our country.  

RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR ALSO AFFECTS THE TOURISM

The Academic Member Dr. Dilbar Guliyeva from the Department of Tourist Guiding of the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences of the Istanbul Gelişim University made an evaluation how the activity in tourism might be in Turkey upon arrival of the summer season. Ms. Guliyeva indicated the following:

 ‘‘Each of two tourists having come to Turkey used to come from Russia or Ukraine. The currently continuing Ukrainian-Russian War seriously affects the tourists in both countries. The struggle of the potential tourists to set up a new life at the refugee sites (camps) as migrants has threatened the existence of the available market in a serious manner and eliminated it in a certain sense; and consequently, this circumstance seriously affects the numbers of tourists, who made reservations long time ago at the accommodation establishment (hotels and so on), located at the regions of Alanya and Antalya, and came for accommodation for a few weeks in other holiday resorts of Turkey. Notwithstanding that the war between Ukraine and Russia has seriously affected the tourists due to come from Ukraine, it does not affect those of tourists due to come from Russia, and it may be possible to observe an increase in the numbers on the contrary.’’

‘‘IF THE HOLIDAY OF THE RAMADAN FEAST IS EXTENDED, THERE MAY BE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBERS OF DOMESTIC TOURISTS’’

Ms. Guliyeva, who underlined the cultural and social importance of the Ramadan Feast for the Turkish-Islamic society, indicated that it is inevitable from the point of view of the Ramadan Feast to give a rise in the domestic activity. It is estimated by various experts that there may be serious increases especially in the numbers of domestic tourists in case of extension of the holiday periods. In this context, various numbers of accommodation establishments try to diversify their customers’ portfolios with special discounts and attention-distracting promotions.

MOST PREFERRED DESTINATIONS: ANTALYA AND ALANYA

The people, who had to stay at home together with the global Covid-19 epidemic, are expected to engage in touristic activities within the scope of ecotourism along with a holiday preference having the centreline of sand, sun and sea. In this respect, it is possible to say that the regions of Antalya and Alanya will come forth in the first ranks of the most preferred destinations for holiday.
The Academic Member Dr. Dilbar Guliyeva, who emphasized that it was necessary for the tourism industry to equip itself with the innovations of the current era, further indicated that it was necessary to apply the approaches and projects such as TA-TU-TA and so on, integrated with the technology and where the tourist/producer identities were combined with the matter of fact of entertainment instead of the tourist/consumer identities.
