Ankara - Turkish Tourism Minister Atilla Koc said he does not expect Turkey to meet a target of attracting 26 million tourists this year, after arrivals fell 14% in the first quarter.
'If extraordinary conditions do not emerge, we will exceed 21m arrivals this year but cannot reach 26m,' he told reporters.
Tourism revenues are a vital source of foreign income for Turkey as it looks to rein in a large current account deficit."
