PREFACE
T
he number of Turkey's tourists and
its income from tourism continues
to grow steadily. Its strong
economy has made Turkey a secure
haven for foreign investors. New hotel
investments continue to unfold. Surveys
show that after London, Istanbul ranks
second in the world in generating the
greatest number of available beds. As
work to diversify services in tourism has
gained momentum, alternative tourism
opportunities have also been created.
The success of congress tourism
has made its impact in the
global arena. In 2013,
tourism revenues rose by
11.4 percent over the
previous year, reaching
32.3 billion dollars. In the
same period, the number
of tourists increased from
37.7 million to 39.8 million.
In the light of recent political
developments, it can be said that
the tourism sector left behind a
challenging but successful year,
sustaining its contributions to the
production of stakeholder industries. In
recent years, the gastronomy sector,
which has turned into a colorful world
of new brands, has become a major
player with the record purchases that
have been made by the strong
corporations in the field. The food and
beverages sector is now in a position to
compete with the rest of the world. The
flavors of Turkish cuisine and its self-
made chefs are the center of attraction.
Gastronomy has become an inherent
part of promoting Turkey.
The industrial market that supplies
products and services has continued to
take stronger steps with the force of its
own dynamics. The suppliers serving
the HORECA sector have surpassed
their local criteria of service, finding the
opportunity to reach regions both near
and far. Product portfolios have
expanded; R&D efforts have
accelerated. The "Turkish brand" has
grown in the travel industry and
attracted the attention of foreign
tourists. Besides the hospitality sector,
the developments that have taken place
particularly in aviation as well as in
transportation, technology services and
design have contributed positively to the
perception of total quality.
