Deserted Beaches: Rising Inflation Deters Tourists from Favored Holiday Spot

Holidaymakers are finding popular beach destinations unusually 'empty' as rising inflation takes its toll, deterring tourists from visiting.

Eerie Silence of Marmaris: The beach resort of Marmaris in Turkey is particularly feeling the pinch, with usually packed sands now 'deserted'. A revealing video documented by a traveller starkly illustrates the eerie calm that has settled over the area. The tourist, identified as Suzanna and known by her TikTok handle suzannatravelsolo, expressed her shock upon seeing the empty streets.

Impact of Rising Costs: Several viewers echoed the sentiment of rising costs being a barrier, with some simply not having the funds to travel to the destination. The soaring prices in Marmaris have created quite a stir on social platforms, with one holidaymaker lamenting the increasing expenses.

Government Initiatives: Nevertheless, Turkey is reportedly making strides to bolster tourism by tackling the spike in prices, diversifying its travel experiences, and enhancing infrastructure. The Government is purportedly committed to curbing inflation, with encouraging developments in specialist tourism sectors.
