islamic state: Even with the decline, foreigners make up more than 70 per cent of tourism revenues, according to Deutsche Welle. Turkey has seen a wave of terrorist attacks by Islamic State, including at the main Ataturk international airport in Istanbul. The number of foreign visitors to Turkey dropped 31.9 per cent in the first nine months of the year, the tourism ministry said last week. The country is also facing renewed conflict with Kurdish militants in the south-east, and armed groups have set off bombs in Istanbul and Ankara. The government has since imposed sweeping emergency laws which have seen dozens of media outlets shut down, tens of thousands of civil servants dismissed and 35,000 arrested. In July, a faction within the military attempted a coup against the government which failed.
