The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Türkiye and Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency TGA confirm that tourist operations across the country are proceeding entirely as normal. Amid widespread media coverage of the conflict in parts of the broader Middle East, Türkiye, a Mediterranean country, is not a party to this conflict. Its tourist destinations, including İstanbul, Antalya, Bodrum, İzmir, and Cappadocia, among the most visited in the world, continue to welcome guests from across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region without interruption. The three facts below are operational realities.
