Turkish Hotel, Restaurant Prices Up 31.61% Annually
Turkey’s Statistical Institute (TÜİK) has reported a significant 31.61 percent annual increase in prices for hotels and restaurants across Turkey as of June 2026. This sharp rise is set to directly impact the travel budgets of tourists and international visitors to the country.
The official inflation data, published on July 3, 2026, highlighted a considerable uptick in costs within the accommodation and catering sectors. From May to June 2026 alone, the monthly price increase stood at 2.11 percent. However, the most notable surge is observed on a yearly basis, with services like hotels and restaurants experiencing a 31.61 percent hike compared to June 2025.
This development reflects broader economic inflation in Turkey, with particular consequences for the vital tourism sector. Travellers planning holidays to popular destinations such as Antalya, Alanya, Istanbul, or Bodrum will need to account for higher expenses for lodging and dining out, potentially affecting their choice of accommodation and frequency of restaurant visits. Thorough planning and budgeting are now more crucial for visitors to Turkey.
