Now both the government, and our sector of tourism work with a without cease to compensate this shortage. The first is occurred by EXPO-2016 which will take place this year.
It is expected br that the number of visitors of this exhibition will make about eight million. If to assume that not less than five-six million from them — foreigners, apparently, in a new season to us will be possible to overcome shortage of the Russian tourists.
Nevertheless, at a meeting of our colleagues from Sabah — the journalist Jawus Donat (Yavuz Donat), the Sabah editor in Ankara Othman Altynyshyk (Osman Altın ışı k) and the commentator of news in Antalya Ibrahim Okumamysch (İbrahim Okumam ış) — with the mayor of Antalya Menderes Tyurel (Menderes Türel) brought up very important question. Tyurel told that the state prepares the special campaign directed on Turks, living abroad, and shared these offers.
the Fine idea appeared in time as it is impossible in time.
Making a start from these plans, I conducted small research and found very interesting figures. If we take the slogan "this year all on rest to Turkey" as a basis, the deficit of the Russian tourists will be covered with interest.
Abroad are lived by more than five million Turks. From them about four million — in countries of Western Europe, 300 thousand — in North America, 200 thousand — in the Middle East, 150 thousand — in Australia.
In general our citizens live in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Great Britain, Denmark, Switzerland, Russia, the USA, Canada, Australia, Norway, Italy, Finland, Poland, Spain, Romania, Hungary.
Besides, need to be remembered br and Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan. Even in Iran and Israel lives more than ten thousand Turks. If to begin campaign immediately, shortage of Russians will manage to be overcome. And if to Putin's appeal "go to Sochi, instead of to Turkey" our compatriots abroad will answer: "This year I go to have a rest to Antalya" — it will be a worthy Ottoman slap in the face (reception which the army of the Ottoman Empire used at unarmed protection or attack with the purpose to stun the enemy — comment perev . ) .
I believe that such campaign will take place wonderfully well, and our compatriots abroad with pleasure will support her.
How many myself I remember br, tricks of Russians always infuriated our people, and he waited for a right moment to give the worthy answer.
answer time Came. Come on rest to Antalya. Come to have a rest to Turkey.
I take care.
