Suluada: The Secret Island in Turkey That Captivated Tourists.

The Mysterious Island in Turkey: A Response to the Maldives

In Turkey, you can find your own version of the Maldives - a secret island called Suluada, located near the coast of Antalya, one of the popular vacation spots. It is reported that this island is completely uninhabited, and that is what makes it appealing to tourists seeking a quiet place to escape from the crowds. To reach the island, you need to take a short boat trip that will take about 40 minutes.

'Tourists are greeted with a view that seems like it came straight out of a postcard. The island's coastline is lined with fine, powdery white sand, and the blue waters beckon for a refreshing swim' - describes the island according to Dailymail.

Suluada has preserved its natural beauty without excessive development, and the island's clear waters have become a refuge for wildlife, such as dolphins and monk seals. The island has two swimming beaches and opportunities for walks among olive trees. However, this season, Turkey is threatened by white slime, which may negatively impact the ecosystem and the country's tourism potential.

Despite this, Turkey is expecting a record number of foreign tourists this season, hoping to attract 65 million visitors by 2025 and earn over $64 billion from tourism revenue. Last year, the country was visited by over 62 million tourists, and tourism revenue amounted to $61.1 billion.

Analysis

Suluada is not only a new tourist destination but also a natural reserve that preserves its wild beauty with minimal human interference. Such places, where you can enjoy nature in its pristine form, are becoming increasingly appealing to modern travelers. Turkey, hoping to enhance its tourism potential, is paying attention to unique natural sites like Suluada, which can attract much attention and benefit the country both in tourism and in environmental conservation.
