新华财经伊斯坦布尔8月2日电（记者许万虎）土耳其官方最新公布的数据显示，受中东地区局势影响，今年第二季度土耳其旅游需求有所走弱，旅游收入同比下降2.6%至159亿美元。
数据显示，4月至6月，赴土耳其旅游的访客数量同比下降5.1%至1560万人次，其中旅居海外的土耳其公民约250万人次，占比16.2%。过夜访客人均每晚消费113美元，旅居海外的土耳其公民人均每晚消费79美元。同期，来土访客的跟团游支出和国际交通支出同比分别下降5.5%和6.1%，住宿及餐饮支出则分别增长11.7%和5.2%。
今年上半年，土耳其旅游收入同比微降0.1%至257.5亿美元，游客数量下降2.7%至2480万人次。与此同时，土耳其居民出境旅游支出增长7.4%至30亿美元，出境人次增长16.5%至340万，人均消费863美元。
土耳其文化和旅游部长穆罕默德·努里·埃尔索伊表示，地区局势一度加剧游客对赴土旅行安全的担忧，但随着旅游推广和外交努力持续推进，相关担忧已明显缓解，预计积极影响将从今年第三季度起逐步反映在旅游数据中。
埃尔索伊说，政府已推出总额660亿里拉的旅游业支持措施，并将住宿税税率下调至1%，有效期至2026年底。
