REST IN TURKEY TO BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE
The decision by the Turkish hotels' administrations to pass on from "weak" dollar to euro will result in 20% rise in prices for the summer rest in Turkey. Meanwhile, as reported by Lenta.ru, tourist agencies do not advertise the information yet. Some of them suppose that the large number of the recently built hotels will not allow the prices to go up much. However, the changes occur in all the services sectors. So, according to the source, shop assistants and hawkers in Ankara sell their goods for euros only, thus making the "capital city fashion" spread all over the country.
