Environmental factors affecting Turkey

• It goes without saying that Turkey is an insanely beautiful country. 37.6 million tourists visited the country in 2018 making it the 8th most visited country in the world. Extremely friendly people, delicious food, crystal clear water, fanciful beaches, picturesque fishing villages, outstanding historical sites, stunning mosques, churches, synagogues, and World Heritage sites make Turkey one of the hottest holiday destinations on earth; hence great business opportunities for travel agents, tour operators, hotels, and airlines.
• While Turkey is a great place to visit, it faces some enormous environmental challenges. No doubt that it’s economic developments with massive industrial productions have caused higher levels of different types of pollution. Air pollution, marine pollution, climate change, deforestation, water scarcity, and nature degradation have added greater risks to the country’s environment. However, the Turkish government has taken a number of initiatives to reduce the strain on the environment.
