Türkiye Achieves Record $51.3 Billion Tourism Revenue in First Nine Months of 2026 Amidst Rising Visitor Spending

Türkiye has reported a record-breaking tourism revenue of $51.3 billion for the first nine months of 2026, marking a 2.4% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The third quarter alone saw a 5% rise in tourism income, reaching $25.5 billion. This achievement comes despite international travel facing challenges such as rising costs and regional disruptions. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Minister of Culture and Tourism, presented these figures, which were subsequently published by GoTürkiye, the country’s official tourism platform.

Average expenditure per night increased by 4.6% to $107.70, with foreign visitors spending an average of $119.90 per night. Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom remained Türkiye's largest source markets for visitors.

Croatia's Tourism Sector Sees Growth in 2026, Driven by Domestic Visitors Amidst Overtourism Concerns

Croatia's tourism sector recorded 21.3 million tourist arrivals and nearly 109 million overnight stays in the first ten months of 2026. This represents a 1.6% increase in arrivals and a 1% rise in overnight stays compared to the same period in 2025, according to data from the Croatian National Tourist Board (HTZ). A significant factor in this growth has been the increase in domestic tourism, with Croatian visitors' overnight stays rising by 4.7% year-on-year. While foreign visitors still account for the majority (87.5%) of overnight stays, their growth was more modest at 0.4%. October 2026 data further highlighted this trend, showing a 9% increase in domestic arrivals and an 8.5% increase in domestic overnight stays, contrasting with a slight decline in foreign arrivals and overnight stays for the month. Germany remained the leading foreign market, despite an 8.7% decrease in overnight stays, while Slovenian and Austrian visitors showed increases.
