Turkey: did protests hit tourism? | beyondbrics:

"

On the face of it, yes. Figures from Turkey’s tourism ministry show that arrivals in June were up 4.9 per cent on the same month in 2012, far slower than the double-digit growth of 2013 to date.

But dig into the figures, and it’s a different story.

On the face of it, it looks clear cut. February and March saw visitor arrivals to Turkey jumping by 27 and 26 per cent respectively, year on year. May was up 17 per cent. What happened in June? Protests."
