According to the data of the Turkish Statistical Institute, 70 percent of those who prefer Turkey come from Europe and 30 percent from the Arab world.

The most preferred areas by the tourists coming to Turkey are; hair transplantation, aesthetics, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, oncology and IVF treatment.
