| Surveys conducted by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism among citizens of countries in which Turkey plans to promote itself as a tourist destination next year have revealed how people's perception and image of Turkey differs from one country to the next. Â According to data from the ministry's website, Turkey is the most popular and most preferred holiday resort location among citizens of Russia. Some 47 percent of Russians surveyed said they think Turkey is the best country to go on vacation. They said they see Turkey as a civilized holiday destination, with its reasonable prices, quality services and facilities in addition to its historical and cultural venues. Turkey has been the most popular holiday destination for Russians for several years. To Russian survey respondents, Turkey calls to mind words like "sunny," "entertaining," "picturesque," "friendly," "relaxing" and "Mediterranean." In the United Kingdom, Turkey is associated with its warm climate and cultural wealth. Sixty-eight percent of UK respondents to the survey said they think of Turkey as a sunny country, while 55 percent said they define it as a historical country and 48 percent said they think first of its cultural richness.
