Greece’s loss is Turkey’s gain
Flight search site Skyscanner (www.Skyscanner.net) says flight searches to Turkey are 159% higher than flight searches to Greece for travel dates this summer.
Greece’s tourist industry looks likely to take a hit and rival Turkey is well placed to take Greece’s share of the market, according to the company.
Skyscanner’s February 2010 Flight Trends Report revealed that while searches for flights to Athens had seen a rise in the rankings, Turkey had three destinations within the top 50 most popular, whilst Greece only had one.
Turkey has seen positive PR this year as Istanbul is a European City of Culture 2010.
