With Turkiye recently relaxing all the Covid-19 related travel restrictions for Indian visitors, the country hosted the highest ever number of travellers from India, in June 22. Turkiye received more than 27,300 Indian tourists in the month of June, breaking all the previous inbound travel records from India, in a single month.

As the demand for international travel pick-ups, this sudden boost to Turkiye tourism from the Indian sector can be attributed to several factors such as the country’s mesmerizing destinations, fascinating history, intricate architecture along with the ease of procuring visas for personal and leisure travel. Moreover, with carriers like Turkish Airlines and Indigo resuming direct flights to the country, travelling to Turkiye has become more convenient for Indians.

India has been one of the top source markets for visitor arrivals into Turkiye and the current peak travelling season has also favoured the numbers immensely. Given that May and October are the most preferred months for Indian tourists to visit Turkiye, the all-time high volume of travellers witnessed in June not only comes as a surprise for the Turkiye Tourism market, but also indicates that more record-breaking numbers will follow in the coming months.
