With visitors holding up their travel plans, Turkey is on its way to reopening cafes and restaurants that are now allowed to stay open for inside seating and dining, at a 50% capacity, until 7 pm, as announced by President Erdogan on 1st March. Since travel and tourism play a pivotal role in contributing to the local economy, the nation is looking forward to going smoothly in the coming years.

While Turkey is waiting to enter the European circle for membership, Turkey’s Government aims to secure a 90-day visa-free entry for its citizens to the Schengen Zone.

The burning question that has been simmering for a long time is that Turkey will be a part of the European Union in the coming years to come as the nation has fulfilled its obligations in a comprehensive and timely manner.

Also, the country is a broader hub for energy, thereby providing transit lines for natural gas pipes leading into Europe. And now EU needs Turkey more than ever after losing its grip on the UK.
