Turkey’s tourism sector delivered a sharp surge in revenues in the third quarter of 2026, with receipts rising to $25.53 billion, according to data updated on 30 October 2026. The figure marks a substantial increase from the previous quarter, when tourism revenues stood at $15.87 billion in the second quarter of 2026.
The jump underscores the strength of Turkey’s peak travel season, with the third quarter traditionally benefiting from higher international arrivals and robust domestic holiday demand. The strong quarterly performance highlights tourism’s growing role as a key foreign-currency earner and a vital support for Turkey’s broader economic activity in 2026.
