These include airlines, airports and other means of public transport, accommodation, hotels, cafes and restaurants.
The Minister of Culture and Tourism said that the state has responsibly approached the provision of proper security measures during such a difficult period for the whole world. Turkey takes care of both the health of local residents and the health and happy, relaxing holiday of tourists.
In addition, the Turkish government has sent letters with information about its plans and intentions to 70 countries, from which the largest number of guests arrives. These include countries such as Russia, Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, etc.
To all of the above, Mehmet Nuri Ersoy added that the letters include information about the measures necessary to ensure the safety of tourists and all people working in transport companies, and what services can be provided by healthcare institutions.
