Ankara is targeting a total of $70 billion in tourism earnings for the upcoming year. Türkiye eyes $70 billion tourism revenue. This financial plan aligns with Türkiye’s Medium-Term Programme, which outlines revenue goals for the next three years. After reaching $70 billion in 2027, the programme projects $73.5 billion in 2028 and $78.5 billion in 2029. The plan anticipates increases of $3.5 billion in 2028 and an additional $5 billion in 2029. Achieving the 2029 target would mean about a 20% rise in annual earnings compared to last year’s figures. Last year, Türkiye set a record with $65.2 billion in tourism income.
Technology
A new ultrasonic welding approach has been developed by scientists from Russia and China, reported TV BRICS. The technology reportedly doubles the strength of metal joints and extends the service life of welded parts by 1.9 times. The research was carried out by South Ural State University, known as SUSU, in collaboration with Chinese partners. This method is particularly effective for joining metals with differing properties, such as steel and aluminium, more reliably.
