Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan extended the accommodation tax cut introduced in April for another year and prolonged state employee support for tourism-licensed facilities until 2028. Erdoğan said Türkiye hosted 49.1 million visitors in the first nine months of the year, with tourism revenue rising 2.4% to $51.3 billion. The extensions are aimed at sustaining a sector that is a key source of foreign currency and employment. Watch for the revenue impact of the tax relief on the 2026 budget and whether arrivals and receipts keep pace through the final quarter.
