While international travelers have been advised against traveling to the quake-affected areas in Turkey, travel to many tourism destinations remains unaffected for the most part. But there will inevitably be some impact.
It’s been nearly a month since a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria, claiming the lives of thousands of people and injuring many more. The devastating impact of the events, and the aftershocks that have followed, have left many travelers who had been planning to visit the country in the coming days, weeks, or even months, with questions. Now in a three-month state of national emergency, Turkey is a major tourism destination, attracting 44.
Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier airline of Turkey, is allowing passengers to either rebook, or obtain a refund on domestic and international flights to or from “earthquake afflicted areas”on flights scheduled from February 6 to March 31, provided they were booked before February 9, 2023. How will vacationers be impacted? There’s no indication that any travel to Turkey’s major tourism destinations has been majorly disrupted and most are able to welcome visitors as normal.
