Turkey has great tourism potential and it is currently gradually recovering, the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism told Trend.
As in the rest of the world, the coronavirus pandemic has impacted the tourism sector in Turkey, which once was one of the drivers of the Turkish economy, the ministry noted.
