New flights will boost Turkish property market

New flights heading direct to Bodrum could have a positive effect on the Turkish property market, one expert has suggested.

UK-based low-cost carrier Jet2 has announced that it will be introducing new routes to the popular tourist destination from Manchester Airport later this month (June 23rd), with travellers expected to be drawn to the region's beautiful beaches.

Commenting on the new flights, Julian Walker, director of Turkish property agent Spot Blue, said he was hoping to see more airlines follow the lead.

"We love to hear about new flights to Turkey, from the UK or anywhere else in the world, because they will continue to benefit the property market, in the areas covered and in the country's tourist areas as a whole," he explained.

"This increasing tourism will continue to make Turkey a popular choice with overseas investors and holiday home investors."

Over 27 million tourists visited Turkey last year, with the figure representing a 2.8 per cent growth compared to 2008.
