Stating that they follow the developments step by step in order to prevent the coronavirus originating from China to harm our tourism, Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Ersoy said that every suspicious event should not be qualified as a “coronavirus”. Ersoy warned that the wrong perception will cause permanent damage to tourism. Reminding that around 450 thousand Chinese tourists came last year, Minister Ersoy met with journalists at the Presidency of Turks Abroad and Relative Communities.
“NOT ALL KORONA”
Minister Ersoy answered the questions regarding the agenda as follows: “We are in a period when the flu infections are intense due to the season. Tourism is also a perception operation. The better you manage perception, the better results you get. We work one-on-one with the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health is following very precisely and effectively. The coronavirus alarm comes on very often. If we cannot manage this perception properly, the Turkish economy, especially the tourism sector, will be negatively affected. We don’t have the slightest weakness. Our ministry manages the process very effectively and precisely. ”
Ersoy stated that precautionary measures were taken for each diagnosis, but it was revealed that suspicious cases were other ailments. Ersoy said, “If we emphasize the coronavirus alarm and create a false perception abroad, we will permanently damage tourism. We will encounter doubts during the period of the flu infection, we need to manage them correctly. ”
WATCHING NOW
Minister Ersoy stated that it would not be correct to move to an active action plan before the World Health Organization’s statements about the issue become clear. This is the reason for the establishment of the Tourism Development Agency. We have to make our sectors resistant to them. We are not watching right now. There is nothing to worry about. We have great expectations about China. This affects our expectation. In 2019, we had nearly 450 thousand Chinese tourist visitors. This year we were expecting a serious growth. This growth does not occur. Turkey is not a very effective overall number of tourist profile. Where it bounces is too early to talk to him. As we progress, we watch it step by step. According to him, we will change our measures. Just not very effective in terms of tourism in Turkey and China remains limited. Turkey does not affect the 2020 target, “he said.
6 MILLION TURKISH ABROAD
Stating that we have 6 million citizens abroad, 2 million of whom are under the age of 25, Minister Ersoy also stated that 3 million of them are in the status of voters and contribute 5 billion dollars to our economy annually.

NO DEFINE FOUND
Mehmet Ersoy, Minister of Culture and Tourism, noted that they have aggravated the conditions related to treasure searches after the search for treasure in Dipsiz Lake and continued: “It is a different problem not to give treasure excavation permits. If you do not, you will encourage illicit diggings this time. This is a more troubling situation. At least it’s under our control. If there is a problem, we have a chance to intervene. Does anything come out of the treasure leave? He will not come. More than a thousand treasure excavations were granted, they couldn’t find anything. A bigger nuisance when you don’t. This time they are full of holes. At least in a controlled way, after the excavation is over, reinstatement works are carried out. Ersoy said that they have turned the branch directorate into the Anti-Smuggling Directorate to prevent smuggling of historical artifacts and that it will be fought more effectively. It is very difficult to take when he goes abroad. ”
