ANKARA - Turkish Daily News
Greece and Greek Cyprus may turn out to be the winners after the Israeli government urged its citizens to avoid Turkey's southern coast because of a clear terror threat. Reuters news agency quoted a Greek Tourism Ministry official as saying that Greece was picking up more visitors because of the situation in Turkey.
"Following the Israeli travel advisory against travel to Turkey, there is certainly potential for extra business, but being August it is difficult to absorb because our hotels are already fully booked" said a Greek Cypriot tourism official to Reuters.
An Israeli official said Turkey has captured militants linked to al-Qaeda who were planning to attack foreign tourists in the Mediterranean region, in what appears to be the reason behind a recent security warning for Israelis against traveling to Turkey's southern coast.
But separate press reports that militants had been detained were denied by the police yesterday.
