Tourism industry is liable to yearly changing dynamics and various inclinations. According to the latest data from Turkish Statistical Institute, tourism revenue increased by 20,1% in the first 9 months of last year and was $41,999,592,000. We also see that the number of people who visited our country was 44,6 million.

Nowadays, we see that tourism industry too is going through important changes under the influence of technology.
