The scatter graph below shows that Turkey is far ahead of the other countries in both tourism
openness and readiness. Having a more developed tourism industry gives Turkey a potentially

Turkey and jointly set standards for the region. Turkey also has a higher dependence on
tourism on its GDP, as indicated through the circle size below.
