MUĞLA
Despite global economic volatility, regional conflicts and weaker demand in European markets, Bodrum remained one of Türkiye’s most resilient tourism destinations during the 2026 season.
A total of 416,691 foreign visitors arrived in the resort town by air and sea during the first six months of the year. The figure represented a 2.75 percent year-on-year decline compared with the same period of 2025.
According to tourism industry representatives, Bodrum, however, continued to be among the destinations least affected by challenges facing the sector in Türkiye.
