THE number of foreigners visiting Turkey fell 37.96 percent year-on-year to 3.1 million in August from 5.1 million a year earlier, the Tourism Ministry said.
This, the Hurriyet said, was the 13th straight monthly fall in the number of foreign tourists visiting Turkey due to several terror attacks, a failed coup attempt and tensions with Russia. It was also the fourth consecutive month when tourist numbers dropped more than 30 percent.
