In March, the occupancy rate of hotels in Istanbul amounted to only 51.9 percent, which is twenty percent lower than in the same month of the previous year. In the whole country, this figure fell by 16.5 per cent to 52.5%. A sharp reduction in the number of tourists has an impact on the price policy of the hoteliers. Most of them were forced to significantly reduce the cost of staying in hotels. So, in Istanbul a night in a hotel will now be about 91.9 per Euro, although it used to be the number, on average, cost the tourists to 140 euros. This amount is even less than the average European price for accommodation – in most countries the stay is costing travelers in 108,1 euros per day.
