Israelis are flocking to Antalya once again

After Gaza Flotilla incident in 2010, tourist arrivals from Israel to popular Turkish Mediterranean resort town of Antalya was hardly hit. In July 2010, the arrivals of Israeli travelers to Antalya dropped %72, compared to July 2009. 

But things are turning around now as Israelis are flocking back to Antalya. According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, between January and June, 126,700 air passengers have made their way between Tel Aviv and Antalya, a 33% increase over the period last year.

The exodus to Antalya looks like it will continue this month. On Thursday, eight charter flights operated by three separate Turkish carriers departed Israel for the Turkish resort area. No Israeli airlines currently fly to Turkey due to the refusal of the Turks to accede to security arrangements that Israeli authorities have demanded before service is resumed.

 Back in March 2013, Haaretz also reported that "Turkey may again become favorite Israeli tourism spot, in wake of Netanyahu's apology". Same time in the year, Turkish newspaper Sabah has reported a similar trend:

Last March the number of Israeli tourists to visit Antalya dropped exponentially to 363, however this year has seen a recovery with 4,117 Israeli tourists visiting Antalya in March alone. According to a written announcement released by Antalya Chamber of Trade and Industry (ATSO) Executive Board Chairman Çetin Osman Budak, figures from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism show that Israeli visitors are now increasingly selecting Antalya as a preferred destination.
Budak pointed out that in March of 2010, 13,787 visitors came to Antalya from Israel, however in 2011 that figure dropped to 267 and in 2012 to 363. Budak stated that this year's figures show a recovery with 4,117 Israeli tourists visiting Antalya in March of this year.
