In the accommodation sector,
experienced the worst period in
its history in 2020-2021 due to the
pandemic, the investments started to
rise again with the revival that started
from the beginning of this year. In the
first 6 months of the year, the hotel
investments became one of the areas
in which investors showed the most
interest. According to the investment
report covering the January-June
2022 period that the Turkish Hoteliers
Association (TÜROB) prepared on
the basis of the data of ‘Investment
Incentive Certificates’ of the Ministry
of Industry and Technology, incentive
applications for 75 hotel projects with
total 14 thousand 413 beds of which total
incentive value was 7 billion 553 million
TL in the first 6 months, were made.
While the monetary amount of incentive
certificate applications in the first half
increased by 640 percent compared to
the same period of the previous year,
the number of projects increased by 39
percent and bed capacity by 76 percent.
In the first 6 months of 2021, 1 billion 21
million TL incentive applications were
made for 54 hotel projects with a total
capacity of 8 thousand 200 beds, and
in the first 6 months of 2019, the year

TL incentive applications were made for

beds in 11 hotels in terms of capacity
among the hotels that received incentive
certificates in the first 6 months of 2022.

Extra incentive offer from Eresin to
Anatolia
TÜROB President Müberra Eresin,
making an evaluation about the
investments, expressed the following
views: “Even in a period when the
negative effects of the pandemic on
the sector and investments in many
areas were postponed, the investors
continued to work to complete the
hotel investments that they started in
2020 and before. This situation can be
considered as an indicator of the hope
and confidence of the investors in the
sector. When we look at the first half of
this year, we see that a serious return
has started in hotel investments. It is not
a situation we prefer that the tourism
centers such as Antalya and Istanbul are
still the places that receive the highest
investment demand even if we evaluate
the investments made in the sector
positively. We are keeping our view that
investments should be spread all over
Anatolia in terms of the sustainability
of tourism, and we believe that more
and more incentives should be given
for investments made in Anatolia, if
necessary. We think that the incentives
are needed for new investments in
Anatolia and for renewal and renovation
in our cities such as Istanbul and
Antalya. Besides, we expect tourism
investments to increase significantly
in terms of that total of 50 public real
estate properties in Afyonkarahisar,
Antalya, Aydın, Bursa, Denizli, Erzincan,
Hatay, İzmir, Kars, Mersin, Muğla, Niğde,
Ordu, Trabzon, Yalova and Nevşehir
provinces are allocated by T.R. Ministry
of Culture and Tourism to entrepreneurs
in accordance with the provisions of
the ‘Regulation on the Allocation of
Public real estate properties to Tourism
Investments within this year.”
