NEW YORK -- Visits by Americans to Turkey have returned to pre-2001 levels, with 532,000 U.S. visitor arrivals in 2006, according to statistics from the Turkish government.
In the year 2000, some 515,000 Americans visited Turkey, but that number dropped following 9/11; there were only 222,000 U.S. visitors in 2003. The numbers have been rebounding since then, although tourism officials say that Peter Frank, editor of Concierge.com, is predicting that travel to Turkey by Americans will continue to grow."
