Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

The Chinese tourists visiting Turkey in the first six months of this year climbed 91 percent to 191,000, compared to the same period last year.

Turkey, renowned for its cultural treasures as well as its natural beauty, has experienced an influx of foreign tourists recently. Around 18.9 million tourists visited Turkey in the first half of 2018. Russians tourists led the way with 2.4 million, followed by Germans and Iranians.

The increase in Chinese tourists was partly affected by China’s declaration of 2018 as the “Year of Turkey,” Xiao Zhang’s song about Turkey as well as other promotional activities to revive tourism in the country.

One of China’s most popular singers, Zhang’s new solo, “I want to take you to romantic Turkey,” has become a popular hit in the country’s music scene. Many Chinese have shared the song on their social media accounts while many more have become curious about Turkey.

Most of the Chinese tourists visiting Turkey preferred historical sites like Pamukkale, Bergama, Ephesus, and Cappadocia. Istanbul has also become a top destination for Chinese tourists.

The 100-day action plan, announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to increase the number of visitors from China, will further boost these figures.

Xuan Yen Yii, a Chinese tourist visiting the historical sites in İzmir’s Bergama district said that she decided to visit Turkey after watching a commercial on television.
