 Turkey
and Egypt are set to remain as popular tourism destinations in 2010, according
to American Express.
Figures from the firm's Global Foreign Exchange Services Currency Index
showed that the two countries became increasingly popular this year as
summer holiday destinations, with more favourable exchange rates with
sterling than the euro.
This saw a 60 per cent year-on-year rise in demand for Egyptian pounds
and a 26 per cent increase for Turkish lira.
Such a trend is likely to continue next year, the firm predicts, which
could make these countries a good place for those investing in tourist
property to buy.
One Turkish resort recently tipped to fare particularly well in 2010
is Altinkum.
Earlier this month, Didim Today reported that a new golf course is planned
for the area, in addition to the marina currently being built.
Editor of the Buying in Turkey guide Dominic Whiting told the paper:
"It will certainly broaden the area's appeal and have a positive
effect on the property market."
