Over 60,000 South African tourists visit Türkiye annually - diplomat

There is local interest in visiting Türkiye and experiencing the beautiful sites, food, and culture firsthand.

The number of South African tourists visiting Türkiye each year is steadily increasing as South Africans have become more interested in exploring the country’s beautiful sites, experiencing its culture firsthand, and enjoying cuisine, the Turkish ambassador to Pretoria said.

“In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of travelers from South Africa was 4,742. In 2022, the number of tourists climbed to 61,154 and this year, just a few months ago, 58,672 South Africans visited Türkiye,” Aysegul Kandas told Anadolu in an interview on Monday, hoping that the number of tourists in 2023 will surpass the previous year figure.

Kandas said the Turkish series, which has been broadcast on several South African television channels, has sparked local interest in visiting Türkiye and experiencing the beautiful sites, food, and culture firsthand.

“Turkish Airlines also has direct flights from South Africa to Istanbul and some South Africans traveling to other destinations transit through Istanbul and spend some time there,” she said.
