Abstract

The article discusses the sanctions and limitations imposed on Turkey following the incident with the Russian aircraft on the Syrian-Turkish border in November 2015. The importance of Turkey as one of the most popular tourist destinations for the Russian mass tourism market is verified through the analysis of bilateral data. The research revealed that the tourism and hospitality sector in Turkey suffered more and more rapidly due to the strict restrictions imposed by Russian authorities. However, the sanctions also triggered a crisis in Russia's outbound tourism industry. The measures taken by the Russian tourism administration to offset the negative effects of geopolitical risks and address the long-standing issues in the tourism industry are presented.
