Turkey
In 2004, tourism contributed some 5.3% to Turkish GDP, and accounted for 66% of the value of services exports and 24% of the value of goods exports. In all three measures, the relative importance of tourism declined in the period 2002-04. International arrivals in 2006 were, at 19.8 million, 6.2% down on 2005 (which had been a record year, recording 21.1 million arrivals, 20.6% above the level recorded in 2004). In 2006, 59% of foreign visitors came from OECD countries (60.3% in 2005), with 5.6 million or 28.3% coming from Eastern Europe. The leading origin market for Turkey in 2006 was Germany, which contributed 19% of total arrivals, followed by the Russian Federation with 9.4% and the UK with 8.5%.
