President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan extended Turkey's tourism tax reduction and employee support measures, citing 2026 figures showing 49.13 million visitors over the nine-month period and tourism revenue up 2.4% to $51.28 billion. Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy said the extension will help sustain the sector's competitiveness. The tax break lowers costs for tourism operators, while the wage support is designed to protect employment in a labor-intensive industry. Details on the duration and scope of the extension were not specified in the available excerpt. Watch for the official decree outlining the new terms and for monthly arrivals data to gauge whether the incentives lift receipts through the remainder of the year.
