Introduction
COVID-19 was first detected in December 2019. In a matter of
months, COVID-19 spread to several countries, and the World Health
Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all hotel and flight reservations
have been cancelled. Like the majority of other countries, Turkey
adopted domestic and international travel and flight bans in order
to contain the spread of COVID-19. The travel bans and reservation
cancellations adversely affected enterprises and developers'
activities in the tourism sector since the tourism season begins in
Turkey in March.
The government has taken certain precautions concerning the
tourism sector to limit the effects of these adverse
developments.
