August brings relief for Antalya’s tourism industry
Shrugging off early-season setbacks from regional tension, Antalya’s tourism sector has surged back to life with July’s momentum pushing August hotel occupancies past 90 percent across the Mediterranean hotspot, according to industry representatives.
They said the picture in August differs significantly from that seen in June and that prospects for September also appear favorable.
According to data from Antalya Airport and Gazipaşa Airport, nearly half a million tourists arrived in Antalya by air between Aug. 1 and Aug. 5.
Data from the Antalya Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism showed that on Aug. 1, a total of 103,200 foreign tourists entered the province. The figure marked the highest daily foreign visitor arrival recorded so far in 2026.
