O/T Price Increases at Holiday Destinations 2024

Price increases at holiday destinations 2024

I came back from a month's holiday on the 16th of June from Turkey.

Very large increase in prices, with the Turkish government announcing that the
inflation rate was at 75% which they announced in the last week of May2024, with
interest rates at 50%.

Bars & restaurants raised their prices, with a Bottle of EFe's 5% lager between £2 to £4,
with spirits a big raise in prices.
Bacardi was the dearest spirit at around £6.50 to £7.50 using a proper measure, price
included a mixer in our resort, at Calis Beach
But the resort next to us Hisaronu was charging £8 for Bacardi single measure, charging
for mixer on top, so coming in at over £10.
When we questioned the price of Bacardi in Hisaronu, the bar owner of course said he has
to import it, which I said that the bottle came in at £280 with prices.
This was after 14 of us had 4 drinks each in the bar, so we said we would not return again,
the bar was called the Red Bar which we have frequented a lot of times.
Next resort to Hisaronu is Olu Deniz, prices there are more.
Shops & the local markets were not getting a lot of custom, with the price increases, be it
people saying that they now used Shein, Temu etc for clothes, with the Chinese companies
being a lot cheaper.
2 fillet steaks, with 2 drinks for us has a couple was £46 in our resort of Calis Beach, some
bar owners saying they were worried on keeping the bars going, with the announcement
that there are building more all-inclusive hotels, with quite a few already built, including
Liberty & Tui Blue hotels already open.

It’s simple ELK don’t go, they will then bring the price back to sensible prices are go bust. Like I’ve always said keep your holiday rip offs & I’ll keep my money in my pocket.
