Future projections see Turkish tourism recovering faster than Egypt, Tunisia

Future projections for air travel picked up by the UK’s Travel Weekly shows that while British tourists are returning to Egyptian, Turkish, and Tunisian holiday destinations, some are recovering better than others. Turkey is leading the pack, with a 66.4% y-o-y growth in UK leisure bookings last year, according to findings from ForwardKeys and Gfk. Egypt is up 50.9% y-o-y, while Tunisia is ahead 901.0% but still holds a 0.7% market share. The studies show that in 3Q2018, Egypt and Tunisia both have a long way to go to reach their 2015 levels in terms of scheduled airline capacity. Egypt is expected to have 46% of seats available three years ago, while Tunisia will only have 38%.
