ANTALYA, TURKEY - As Turkiye’s tourism sector surges toward new highs, The Land of Legends is preparing to welcome 2025’s summer visitors to its entertainment, hotel, and lifestyle complex in Antalya. Known for combining creative design with family-focused hospitality, the resort enters the season with an expanded range of experiences and a focus on international travellers.
The launch comes amid a promising backdrop for the tourism industry. In 2024, Türkiye hosted 52.63 million visitors, surpassing its previous record of 49.2 million in 2023. January 2025 alone saw 2.17 million foreign entries, the highest ever for that month.
