I've removed the following paragraph because it has no references:
"High quality of medical services and skilled physicians, low relative cost and the optimal geographic location between Europe and the Middle East, combined with the tourism attractions, also makes Turkey an emerging medical destination." --Svetovid 11:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
There should be sections listing the World Heritage Sites, natural parks, and other important sites. Q·L·1968 ☿ 14:58, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Don't turkey need medical assistants to just like us to I guess? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C50F:C410:39DA:FB93:90AE:E4E6 (talk) 22:58, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I am very concerned about the "travel safety" section here, as there seems to be undue weight given to concerns to Turkey is not safe. These concerns are perfectly valid, but so are sources that state that classify Turkey as safe. I have removed a sentence from the lead as it was a huge misrepresentation of the source as I stated in my edit summary: the "advise against non-essential travel" is only for some parts of Turkey even for the UK and saying "[...] recommending that all non-essential travel to Turkey be avoided." is just outright wrong.
With regards to the rest of the section: "Militants operating within Turkey have a long history of bombing touristic sights and hotels." This sentence appears to be supported by three sources. The first by Brenner mentions a series of bombings in 2005. This is a decade ago and makes no mention of a long history. I can find no reference to the "long history" in the second source either. The third source refers to a campaign by the PKK in the 1990s - again no mention of a "long history" (see WP:SYNTH, it's a different thing to have previous attacks and an entirely different thing for us to present this as a long history). I am thus making a change in this to reflect the nature of the sources. --GGT (talk) 22:47, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
I am also concerned that the emphasis given to current events in the lead and the travel section could be a bit of recentism.--GGT (talk) 23:00, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
There is no evidence for the number of tourists declining. Even if that were the case, it surely does not hold any weight when reported by a newspaper with an anti-administration agenda like the Hurriyet Daily News. Human like you (talk) 10:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
The figures for tourist arrivals to Turkey in 2019 don't come to 51 million. More like 31 million. Someone should adjust this. Please learn to add up... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khananel (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
I've requested the article be fully protected, as the latest round of edit warring [1] [2] are just furthering the dispute that resulted in the partial protection from last month. The bad faith edit summary on the second diff doesn't help. However, if the editor would like me to break down the edits into pieces to make it easier to start making an attempt to justify it, I'm open to that approach. --Ronz (talk) 14:30, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) Since there's no response, I propose rolling it back first, then going through the changes here on the talk page as edit requests. --Ronz (talk) 15:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Unless anyone can find reliable sources for tourists coming to Turkey to visit prostitutes I think the section should be moved to Prostitution in Turkey as out of scope for this article. I cannot find the academic research mentioned in the newspaper report cited. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:14, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
