Chaos in Turkey after the earthquake. The tour season is under threat

Disorganization and chaos in Turkish hotels after a series of powerful earthquakes threaten the beginning of the summer tourist season. According to local hoteliers, they turned out to be "extreme", and the state seems to be trying to shift the solution of all problems to the tourism industry.

At the moment, about 100 thousand refugees from the earthquake zone are housed in hotels in Turkey. Some of them have already begun to be evicted gradually, and from March 15 the eviction will be massive.

"The government does not provide any support to the industry. No one knows what will happen next. Mess and disorganization are everywhere," the hotel owners complain.

Out of desperation, they are already ready to solve this issue themselves. For example, recently there was a proposal to rent empty houses at your own expense and place refugees there. However, no consensus was reached, Turprom writes.
