While Turkey is among the leading players in global inbound tourism, currently ranking sixth in terms of volume, its competitiveness does not match up. This is as per business research conducted by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Thus Turkey is now planning to develop certain tax free zones within the country to free up the tourism sector. The first steps for this will be taken up in the Aegean and Mediterranean provinces such as Dimim and Marmaris as well as west of Antalya.
