An important warning was issued by tourist officials in Bodrum, Turkey: since the opening of the 2022 summer season has already taken place, travelers arriving without prior reservation will remain at the door due to lack of seats. The rush of demand is due to the tilting British tourist flow, which is replacing tourists from Russia, the sacred holiday of Ramadan and the Ukrainian-Russian wave of emigration. The statement of the chairman of the Bodrum Hoteliers Association was quoted by Turkish media.
Bodrum, which is a paradise for tourists from European countries and the Turks themselves, is preparing for the summer season with Ramadan. Many five-star hotels have a calendar of concerts and events with famous artists.
Bundled Turkish hotels in Bodrum may refuse to accommodate “non-package” tourists due to high demand in April. “We want to warn our guests who will come to Bodrum. Please come with a pre-confirmed order. Many rooms are occupied. I think the hotels will be completely filled. Therefore, those who want to relax in Bodrum can guarantee their holiday to order. Book through travel agents. Beware of scammers, “warned Omar Dengiz, chairman of the Bodrum Hoteliers Association.
And immediately made a forecast for the upcoming beach season: “It is too early to say how many tourists we will receive this year, but we assume that it will be much higher than last year’s figure. Even if the war in Ukraine continues, we will have good numbers. So far, no inquiries have been received, and the planes have not canceled additional flights. This means that we have a high season ahead of us.”
