OJEN, SPAIN, September 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Whilst the Turkish Government determinedly continues in its quest for EU accession, the public are rapidly going off the idea. 73% fancied membership in 2004 but a September 2010 poll drops that figure to a meager 38%. It seems it was never about being European, it was about the economic benefits, and now Turkey has the world's third fastest growing economy for Q2 2010 (10.3% - beaten only by Singapore and Taiwan) those benefits are shrinking.
Daniel Dias for developer Signature International building Horizon Sky close to Bodrum comments, "There are winners and losers in an economic crisis and Turkey's emerged as a clear winner. Brits have turned their back on the Eurozone and are choosing value-for-money Turkey, which operates in Turkish lira, for their holidays and overseas property buying. The two industries, tourism and real estate, are close cousins and their fortunes interlink. As a developer we're handling several clients who've holidayed here for the first time then fallen for Turkey's charms and want to have a permanent base here. The result is increasing prosperity for the country and a flourishing development for us."
Indeed Turkey is gobbling up all the plaudits in 2010. On the tourism side, Conde Nast Traveller's Readers' Travel Awards has ranked Turkey as favourite holiday destination for 2010. Readers gave the nation top marks for range of accommodation and, increasingly important nowadays, value for money. Spain only managed a sixth place with France in tenth. Meanwhile Skyscanner listed Turkey in its top five most searched for holiday destinations for 2010. The flight comparison site referred to the beneficial pound-lira exchange rate which helped holidaymakers' money stretch that much further.
Turning to property, latest data demonstrates a dramatic rise in the number of British property owners over the past few years. Overall the number of foreign property buyers has risen from 73,000 in 2008 to 104,000 today with the Brits making up the largest segment at 32,000. Again, more traditional markets such as France and Spain are missing out due to their higher cost of living and the poor pound-euro exchange rate.
