The statistics of the number of hotels in Turkey opened and closed in January-July 2022 have been published, which shows that the high tourist flow from abroad this year does not save Turkish hotels from bankruptcy and closure. Although the number of hotels reopening is also increasing.
Based on the data from the Association of Hotels and Exchanges of Turkey, a total of 149 new hotel facilities were opened in the resort republic in the incomplete year 2022. Instead, 26 hotels have already closed since the beginning of this year. The trend is increasing. This can be seen if you compare the numbers with last year. Yes, for the whole of 2021, 125 hotels were opened, and only 25 were closed. Let’s repeat, and these were statistics for the whole of last year.
In addition, experts noted the reduction of foreign investments in Turkish tourist facilities. Thus, since the beginning of last year, 12 hotel organizations were opened with foreign capital of 7.4 million Turkish liras and total capital of 36 million liras. Meanwhile, during the current year, 12 hotel enterprises also managed to open their doors for vacationers, but with foreign capital of 2.5 million Turkish liras and a total capital of 4 million liras.
