The tourism sector in the
region of Antalya had small
beginnings in the 1960s.
The development of tourism
soon gained momentum however
due to the wide variety of
touristic attractions which
the region had to offer.
Tourism in the area was
confined mainly to the
domestic market., but it was
in the mid 1980s that the
fledgling international
tourism sector started to take
off. |
|
Domestic tourism has also
become a major player in the
tourism game with locals
concentrating on their
‘holiday homes’ and spending
their vacations in ‘state
holiday camps’.
An important feature of
regional tourism is the
provision of sufficient hotels
which are purpose-built and of
high enough standard to keep
ahead of foreign competition
Antalya has huge touristic
potential with its warm
climate, diverse historical
and cultural background and
great natural beauty. |
