*The high-capacity investment rate in Istanbul and Muğla in the last month of the year is noteworthy.

*Compared to 2014, while there is a decline of over 60% in bed capacity, the same decline is not observed in the investment amount due to the increasing cost per bed.

*Istanbul was the province that received the most hotel investment incentives in 2018, with 22 hotels.
