Crisis continues in Alanya! Tourists are here, but profits are not

Occupancy High, Profits Low: Alanya's Tourism Industry Faces Pressure

During the 2025 summer season, hotel occupancy rates in Alanya have reached 80–90% in July. However, tourism professionals report that this has not translated into profitability. Small and medium-sized businesses are particularly affected by rising costs, exchange rate pressure, and more cautious spending habits among tourists.

Problems such as power outages and transportation difficulties add to the challenges. Industry representatives call for stable currency policies, support for small businesses, and improvements to transportation infrastructure.

Despite strong occupancy rates, many tourists remain in hotels and avoid shopping or participating in local activities, which negatively affects local tradespeople.
