This study initially summarizes the development of the Turkish tourism industry in terms of the changes in the number of tourists and the receipts for the years 1984 through 1988. This summary provides a background for analyzing the detailed sample survey of international tourism receipts conducted by the Turkish Ministry of Tourism. The data indicate unique and diverse international spending patterns. The generally assumed relationships between numbers, receipts, length of stay, and receipts per day are not validated by the results of this survey. Given the general caveats of tourism surveys, the implications of the diverse spending patterns of international travelers to Turkey are discussed.
