Turkey vacation: Hoteliers reduce prices – bargains for families!

Türkiye's situation as a holiday destination is currently facing some challenges. Through a survey by current tourism It is clear from German tour operators that hoteliers in Turkey are more open to discounts and concessions. This development is a direct response to the weak bookings in the current season.

Prices for holidays to Turkey have risen dramatically in recent years, putting off many potential holidaymakers. An example makes this clear: The price for a 13-day all-inclusive holiday at the Diamond Princess Hotel in Manavgat has increased from 1,337 euros in August 2022 to 1,878 euros in August 2024 - for the same room. To counteract these price increases, tour operators are adjusting their offerings.

Price adjustments and new offers

In order to respond to the changing conditions, the provider Alltours has specifically added hotels that are suitable for price-conscious families, such as the Alltoura Club Hotel La Benata, the Hotel Silver in Side and the Mary Hotel in Alanya. The focus here is particularly on resorts in the second and third rows, especially in the popular holiday areas of Side and Alanya.

TUI is also reacting to market developments and has expanded its three-star segment. The company has also agreed on child discounts to promote family-friendliness. The Turkey specialist Bentour also launched “holiday money” campaigns in cooperation with various hoteliers to create additional incentives for bookings.

Another innovative concept is “All-inclusive Light”, which is being tested by Schauinsland-Reisen on the Turkish Riviera. This offer does not include alcoholic drinks and is intended to help travelers save up to 50 euros per week per person. While some operators, such as Coral Travel, welcome this as a flexible pricing option, Anex Tour's Sebnem Iscen expressed skepticism because of the changing cost structure due to inflation.

Transportation and demand

However, the airlines are optimistic about demand for Turkey. Sun Express has increased its capacity on routes to Antalya by 12% and reports 20% higher advance bookings for the summer. In contrast, Freebird Airlines is launching 110,000 additional seats and offering new routes. Corendon Airlines, on the other hand, has not increased its capacity compared to the previous year in order to ensure stable flight operations.
