Vacation in Turkey 2025: Rising prices put a strain on families!

Türkei - Vacation in Turkey is very popular and attracts numerous travelers. The tourist hotspots not only offer impressive sights, but also a variety of comfortable hotels and a comprehensive selection of food. Despite the tempting price-performance ratio, vacationers are increasingly reporting that the costs for a trip to Turkey are more expensive than expected. During the summer holidays in particular, tour operators warn of increasing prices.

families need increasingly deeper pockets to manage the higher hotel prices in high season. Thomas Bösl, strategy manager of the Raiffeisen Touristik Group, points out that these price increases could influence the booking behavior. Many people might not have a vacation in Turkey or at least have doubts about the booking. A comparison of the costs for various providers is therefore urgently recommended.

rising costs in the high season

For travelers who are planning a trip to Turkey in 2025, it will be particularly expensive. According to reports from Infranken prices in high season increase significantly. Turkey now leads the list of tourism inflation in Europe. As early as January 2025, price increases of 42.4 percent for hotels and restaurants were recorded compared to the previous year. This goes hand in hand with a high inflation that achieved a rate of 71.6 percent in June 2024.

The prices in the hospitality industry even rose by 49.18 percent in January 2025 compared to January 2024. Even if the strong euro partially improves the purchasing power of German vacationers, the price increases cannot be fully balanced. Within Turkey, the cost of living is still lower than in Germany, but the traditional price advantage is noticeably depressed by inflation.

Alternative accommodations and new booking trends

The tour operators also report on a new trend. More and more holidaymakers opt for alternative accommodations and savings offers to avoid the high costs. While the classic "All Inclusive" model is still popular, price-differentiated models such as "All Inclusive Light" and modular catering packages could offer new solutions. Such options could not only increase flexibility, but also help to keep travel expenses within the framework.

The development of the prices for vacation in Turkey remains to be seen, but the current trends and rising costs show that travelers are well advised to find out more about the various offers in advance. The vacation in Turkey is still very valued, but the price pressure could influence the selection and decisions of the travelers. Experts advise you to carefully compare offers to find the best price-performance ratio for the next trip.
