There are several projects underway to ensure the continuing development of infrastructure and services in a bid to prepare for the increasing number of visitors to Turkey."Turkey is not only a popular holiday destination amongst Brits but is also one of the fastest-growing second property markets in the world with property in Turkey owned by foreign investors exceeding £1.25 million.
