Sanctions: Turkey has lost half of Russian tourists

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey reported that the geopolitical crisis and "air sanctions" led to a sharp decrease in the number of Russian tourists: they arrived 48% less than in March 2021.

Russia's share in the total foreign tourist flow to Turkey has more than halved - from 24.24% to 10.91%, that is, for the first time in many years Russia was not even in the top three inbound markets of Turkey, said Ator.

The geopolitical crisis and "air sanctions" changed the picture of inbound tourism in Turkey in March. According to the data published by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in March 2022, 114,384 Russian tourists arrived in Turkey. That is 52% of March 2021 (219,458 tourists).

Accordingly, the flow of tourists from Russia to Turkey in the first spring month fell by 48%, almost twice. Russia's share in the total foreign tourist flow to Turkey more than halved - from 24.24% to 10.91%.

At the same time, the total foreign tourist flow to Turkey in March 2022, compared with a year ago, more than doubled (905,323 foreign arrivals in March 2021 and 2,079,565 arrivals in March 2022).

In turn, the top five inbound markets of Turkey also changed in March. The first place in March was held by Iran (274,815 tourists), the second - by Germany (187,185), and the third - by Bulgaria (169,640). Russia was only on the 4th place, while Great Britain was on the fifth (87,349).

As for the distribution of Russian tourist flow to Turkey in March 2022, 79% (90,394 out of 114,384) of Russian tourists this month came to Istanbul. Given that this is even 3.3% more than in March 2021, the entire main blow (i.e. a two-fold reduction in the number of Russian arrivals) came from Antalya.

Only 20.8% of all Russians who came to Turkey in March (23,716 tourists from Russia) spent their holidays in Antalya. Last year twice as much.

Finally, only 274 trips of Russian citizens (0.2% of the total Russian tourist flow) were recorded on the Aegean coast of Turkey, in the province of Mugla (Mula). This is 70% less than the arrival of Russians in the province in March 2021 (900)..

At the same time the total volume of foreign tourist flow to Turkey in March 2022 compared to the period one year ago has more than doubled

Turkey to offer Russia and Ukraine "Hong Kong model" of peace

Turkey promotes the so-called "Hong Kong model" of reconciliation, under which Russia is offered to receive the territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and the Crimean peninsula for "long-term use". The Moscow-based Institute of the Middle East, which provides expert analytical services to Russian government agencies on Middle Eastern issues, writes about it. The reconstruction of Donetsk and Luhansk will be done at the expense of the Russian side. After a certain period of time (various periods of time are mentioned, on average 50 years), Russia will have to return these territories to Ukraine. As the Turkish side insists, this model is a win-win model for both sides of the conflict. ▪️ For Ukraine - because it will receive a Russian commitment, guaranteed by international observers, that it will get back the territories it considers its own and, as can be seen, no Ukrainian leadership will be able to retain its power by agreeing to the contrary. Thus, Ukraine wil...

Uzbekistan: Why do migrant workers need Russia when there is the West?

Experts from the Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research (IPMR) of Uzbekistan proposed organizing free English language courses. In this way, it would be easier to reorient Uzbeks to labor markets in English-speaking countries and reduce dependence on Russia, the Institute believes. "The high dependence of migrant workers' incomes on Russia (https://t.me/asian_states_in_ukrainian_crisis/801) increasingly aggravates the situation not only in the labor market, but also in the country as a whole. For these reasons, it is already necessary to consider new opportunities for labor exports," reads the publication (https://telp.cc/Kzz) on the website of the institute. Its authors point out that $5.6 billion or 70% of remittances received by Uzbekistan in 2021 came from Russia. That same year, the number of Uzbek migrant workers in Russia was 1,036,305 (according to the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations). The mos t attractive destinations for the promotion...
