NEW YORK - The promotion campaign which Turkey started in the U.S. started to yield positive results.
Americans were very much interested both in the promotion film prepared by Culture and Tourism Ministry on Turkey which was broadcast in main U.S. tv channels and also in the advertisements of Turkey which were put on buses and bus stations in New York and California.
Turkish Tourism Attache in New York Levent Demirel said that there was an increase in the number of American tourists who applied to get visa from Turkey.
Demirel said that the promotion film on Turkey which was broadcast in ABC, CBS, NBC and California tv channels on prime-time were very much liked, adding that many Americans who were impressed by the film and who wanted to come to Turkey, asked for information either by mail or e-mail.
