The tourist scene, especially along the southern coast is dropping like a rock. From June on, for 2016, German and Russian tourists just refused to go. Lot of the resorts just shut down early and some are in caretaker status for 2017 with no hope of opening.

You can find deals right now for flight, hotel, three meals a day, and all drinks (including beer) at a 5-star hotel for two weeks (leaving out of Frankfurt) for 350 Euro range.

Without that tourism and hard-cash...I don’t see how they make it through 2017. Some people suggest that infrastructure projects will start up by the gov’t to hype employment, but these don’t affect hotel employees or tourism-related operations.

Thanks for that note. I have no knowledge of that part of the Turkish economy.

I don't blame them!
