A worrying surge in Covid-19 cases in Turkey combined with the continued global decline in tourism is threatening Ankara’s hopes for recovery, a Washington DC-based news outlet Al-Monitor reports.
The Turkish government is being criticized for its ineffective management of the pandemic crisis. The surge in cases is forcing Ankara to reimplement lockdown measures, shattering the hopes for European countries that constitute the majority of tourist traffic to Turkey to relax some of the travel restrictions ahead of the upcoming tourist season.
