A Study Of Factors Affecting Chinese Tourism In Turkey

China is the second largest economy and the most populous country and its tourism is one of the world’s fastest growing in outbound and inbound travel markets. Since 2000, the Economy of China has been growing at an average of around %10. After joining the World Trade Organization(WTO), China has intensified market-oriented reforms, both in its exchange trade and foreign trade policies. In this study, the factors that can enhance tourism between China and Turkey will be examined and also analyze the Chinese tourist who visits Turkey since the establishment of China and Turkey diplomatic relation in 1971. I analysize the factors that afftect Chinese outbound tourists to Turkey: first one is that the Chinese people getting more and more rich, second one is that Chinese currency has gained more value than the Turkish Lira(TL), and Turkey’s e-Visa system for Chinese tourists plays import role as well. Finally, I propose policy recommendations for attracting Chinese tourists to Turkey.
