The post International visitor spending in Türkiye in 2025 forecast to reach ₺2.6TN: WTTC appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Türkiye’s Travel & Tourism sector is set to soar to new heights in 2025, according to the latest data from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), cementing the country’s status as one of the world’s most popular and most resilient destinations.

With a projected ₺5.2TN contribution to the national economy in 2025 – equivalent to 12% of Türkiye’s GDP – Travel & Tourism is forecast to grow more than ₺200BN above last year. According to the research, both international and domestic visitors are set to fuel this success, with international visitor spending in 2025 forecast to reach ₺2.6TN, underscoring Türkiye’s rising global appeal.

Domestic visitor spending is projected to reach ₺1.4TN, reflecting the vibrant strength of Türkiye’s homegrown tourism economy and the appetite of its people to explore the richness of their own country.The global tourism body’s latest Economic Impact Research also shows that this impressive growth isn’t just economic.

In 2025, Travel & Tourism is expected to support 3.3MN jobs across the country, representing over 10% of all national employment. From hospitality and transport to food services and cultural experiences, the sector is creating meaningful, long-term opportunities for millions of Turkish citizens.

Julia Simpson, WTTC President & CEO, said “Travel & Tourism in Türkiye continues to grow at pace and is reaching record numbers. As travellers seek authentic, enriching experiences, Türkiye is delivering with open arms, offering travellers a world-class experience.”

A look back at 2024

Last year, Türkiye’s Travel & Tourism sector contributed ₺5TN to the Turkish economy – representing nearly 12% of total GDP. It also supported 3.2MN jobs, representing one in every 10 across the country.

International visitors spent ₺2.5TN, just over 5% below the year before, while domestic travellers added a further ₺1.3TN, emphasising the sector’s broad and growing impact.

Simpson added “2025 is on track to be a record year for Türkiye’s Travel & Tourism sector, but success can never be taken for granted. While the country made great strides in 2024, international visitor spending did see a slight decline. In a competitive global market, Türkiye must continue to innovate and invest to retain its world-leading position.”

Coral Travel Group, one of the leading tourism groups in Türkiye and Europe, also welcomed the outlook.

Chairman of the Board and WTTC Member, Ayhan Bektas, said “We are proud to be part of Türkiye’s tourism story and to contribute to a sector that supports millions of jobs and delivers real value to the national economy.

“The partnership between the private sector and government has helped make Türkiye one of the world’s most dynamic travel destinations — and we look forward to continuing that success together. We will continue our efforts to support Türkiye’s rise.”

Looking to 2035: A Decade of Promise

WTTC projections show the sector will maintain strong growth through to 2035.

Travel & Tourism is forecast to contribute ₺7TN to the economy by 2035, almost 13% of GDP, and is expected to support 3.8MN jobs, creating over half a million new roles over the next 10 years.

International visitor spending and domestic tourism are both expected to rise steadily, to reach ₺3.4TN and ₺1.7TN respectively.

Jumeirah Asora Bay, hotel and residences, will articulate the evolution of the Jumeirah brand with an elevated design vision and a highly curated experience that is both distinctive and purposeful. Combining architectural innovation with an unparalleled coastal setting, the exclusive development will sit discreetly on the peninsula of La Mer South in Dubai.

The hotel, featuring 103 rooms and suites along with 20 villas, aligns with Jumeirah’s renewed vision and investment strategy, which includes a focus on boutique-style properties with up to 150 keys, and places emphasis on suite categories, villas, and branded residences. This approach is also reflected in Jumeirah’s European portfolio, including the upcoming opening of Jumeirah Le Richemond in Geneva, as well as established destinations such as Jumeirah Mallorca and Jumeirah Capri Palace. Scheduled to open in 2029, Jumeirah Asora Bay will join the highly coveted Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts offering.

Complementing the hotel will be the Jumeirah Residences Asora Bay launched with Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate.  This exclusive residential enclave features 29 residences, including four-to-six-bedroom apartments, one seven-bedroom penthouse, and six ocean villas.  The development’s hillside location and terraced design offers uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s skyline.

With an upweighted focus on branded residences, Jumeirah is also introducing Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers — a new expression of elevated living that blends vibrant city life with curated and purposeful experiences.

Featuring 754 units, ranging from one-to-four-bedroom apartments, this new development will redefine urban living in Dubai’s business district — a residential experience elevated to new realms. Residents will have access to a wide array of well-being and lifestyle facilities, including a padel court, fitness studios, co-working lounge, private cinema and a podium pool terrace.

Thomas B. Meier, Chief Executive Officer of Jumeirah said: “In line with Jumeirah’s Mission 2030 strategy, our ongoing ambition is to drive sustainable growth and double the size of our portfolio regionally and internationally.  Maintaining a leadership position in our home market is integral to that strategy and, following the successful opening of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab earlier this year, we will further extend our footprint in Dubai with Jumeirah Asora Bay and Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers.  These exceptional properties represent the future of the Jumeirah brand, with distinctive and purposeful experiences shaped by intentional design, mindful living and holistic wellbeing.”

He added: “We remain firmly on track with the delivery of our strategic roadmap and these additions to our portfolio will further strengthen our global reputation as an industry pioneer and brand of influence.”

Commenting on the announcement, Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Meraas is proud to partner with Jumeirah in shaping the future of luxury living in Dubai. Jumeirah Residences Asora Bay and Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers are more than just residential addresses; they are meticulously designed lifestyle destinations for the world’s most discerning homebuyers and investors. Emulating Meraas’ commitment to exceptional urban experiences, these residences combine innovative design, premium amenities, and renowned Jumeirah hospitality, setting a new standard for residential excellence and reinforcing Dubai’s leadership in global luxury real estate.”

As part of its strategy to diversify its portfolio and drive expansion through both acquisitions and hotel management agreements, Jumeirah has segmented its portfolio into four key offerings, rooted in luxury Arabian hospitality: Jumeirah Icons, Jumeirah Privé, Jumeriah Hotels & Resorts, and Jumeirah Residences.

Jumeirah Icons currently includes Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and will become a limited-edition collection of iconic addresses that shape the identity of cities, setting new benchmarks in design, prestige and hospitality.  The newly established Jumeirah Privé, which features Jumeirah Thanda Island, is a curated, ultra-luxury collection of secluded islands, estates and villas, offering the ultimate privacy and exclusivity paired with the world-class service and amenities of Jumeirah.  Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts remains the foundation of the brand, featuring a range of properties in some of the world’s most inspirational destinations.  The final segment is Jumeirah Residences, which has become an increased focus for the brand, designed to elevate and inspire living well, every day.

The 90-minute roundtable explored how data-driven insights and cutting-edge technologies are already reshaping destination management, travel planning, and strategic execution across the industry.

“It has been great to see the growing interest in travel intelligence here in the Middle East,” highlights Mario Pucciarelli, Director of Sales & Business Development at Almawave in Dubai. “What we are building with Mabrian, together with the broader Almawave, is not only resonating with travel industry, but also is a key part of our wider AI vision — bringing real, actionable insights to destinations and industry players,” he says. “With our regional offices in place, weare here to stay and fully committed to working alongside local partners to grow a meaningful and long-term data ecosystem that benefits travel & tourism in the Middle East.”

Carlos Cendra, Partner and CMO at Mabrian Technologies stated, ”We wanted to run this Roundtable so we could have a cross sector honest, thought-provoking discussion with these destination experts to understand how we can provide better solutions for our partners. We were also eager to show the extent to what data-driven insights can enhance travel and tourism strategies and development and contribute to address key issues that destinations and companies are facing around the world”.

Representatives from key tourism bodies and projects—such as Visit Oman, Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Authority, and NEOM—as well as global travel organisations like the Pacific Asia Travel Association and the Egyptian Hotel Association, joined renowned consultancy firms including McKinsey & Co., BCG, and Roland Berger to share their vision on how technology and data-driven insights are shaping strategic developments across the Middle East’s travel and tourism sector.

Key discussion topics included:

• The evolution of destination management strategies over the past decade through the integration of data-driven insights based in AI, and whether GenAI represents the next major paradigm shift.
• Real-world examples of how public and private organizations are using data intelligence to address operational challenges, seize market opportunities, and sharpen their competitive edge.
• The internal and structural hurdles many organizations face when adopting data-driven approaches and AI-based solutions—ranging from staff upskilling and technical readiness to cost and cultural resistance.
• Collaborative models between DMOs, travel providers, tech firms, and analytics companies, and how to foster more integrated, insight-led ecosystems in tourism.

Asia’s most celebrated amateur golf tournament, the Centara World Masters Golf Championship, marks a significant milestone in June 2025 as it marks its tenth year.

This landmark anniversary will be celebrated through the tournament slated for 8th to 14th June in Hua Hin, Thailand.

This year, more than 450 golfers will tee it up at Black Mountain, Pineapple Valley, and Springfield, reaffirming Hua Hin’s status as one of Asia’s premier golf destinations.

Gathered together by a shared passion

Throughout the past decade, the Centara World Masters has become a global gathering for passionate golfers, drawing over 3,700 players from 25 countries.

Mark Siegel, managing director for tournament co-organiser Golfasian, said: “The Centara World Masters isn’t just about trophies; it’s about lifelong friendships, unforgettable experiences, and celebrating golf’s universal language.”

Siegel added that the tournament was little more than a dream ten years ago, but has since become a celebrated tradition with the Asian golf community.

As he puts it: “The demand for high-quality golf experiences in Asia has never been stronger – and the future looks even brighter.” 

For his part, Australian-based Go Golfing founder Peter McCarthy opines: “Seeing golfers reconnect year after year at the Centara World Masters proves that great events don’t just happen: they’re lived, cherished, and passed down.”

Backed by Asia’s growing investment in world-class courses and tourism infrastructure, the Centara World Masters continues to set the standard for amateur golf festivals worldwide, and 2025 promises to be the biggest celebration yet.
