Tourist surge boosts Turkey's economy

People have fun at the Maral Waterfall, a tourist attraction nearby Turkish-Georgian border, in Turkey's northeastern province of Artvin, on Aug. 5, 2018. Turkey's tourism sector is recovering with growing visits by foreigners in the country, and the increasing revenues bring good news for the struggling economy. The number of tourists visiting Turkey in the first half of 2018 increased 30 percent year on year, the Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Ersoy said. (Xinhua/Bayram Sarayoglu)?
