Friday prayers at Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque for the first time in 86 years, in Istanbul.

If Turkey’s current trend of increasing arrivals continues, revenues could reach $15 billion by the end of the year, provided the country isn’t hit by a second wave of cases.According to official figures released last week, Turkey’s most popular tourist destination Antalya welcomed more than one million tourists between January 1 and August 19 from 31 countries. “Still the Turkish tourism operators were hoping to make a late recovery, meaning, in late autumn and when you speak of late autumn, of course, you are speaking about cultural tourism.”According to Ertan, these decisions by Erdogan send a message that he and Turkey prioritize Islam and Muslims over other all other things, especially for those who are looking to visit from the West.“It clinches Erdogan’s image in the eyes of the Western tourists as a conservative who has Islam foremost in his mind,” Ertan said.This also comes at a time where Erdogan’s regional rival, Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has been promoting his country’s diverse religious roots in an effort to boost tourism.“This is when Sisi is sort of capitalizing on the Christian and Jewish heritage of Egypt,” Ertan stated.

Nobody knows what will happen because the pandemic situation is not getting better and is actually worsening.”Businesses were hoping that tourism would see a surge this autumn, when people are more likely to visit cultural sites rather than going to the beach or sea due to the drop in temperature, but some fear that with the Hagia Sophia and Chora becoming mosques, tourists may forgo planned visits.“Turkish tourism had already suffered a blow with the pandemic when the European Union did not include Turkey as a ‘safe’ country,” Nazlan Ertan, a Turkish journalist, told Al Arabiya English.
