TBF, Turkey is cheaper for many people both in terms of transportation costs and the value you get for your money. I doubt it’s a coincidence rnce that the lira has been dropping so much in value (30% last year) that international shopping tours were organized Turkey is also trying to position itself as a transport hub so I’ve noticed a lot more people staying in the country for 1-3 days to see a few of the sights.
Going to the US is too expensive for many who aren’y in neighboring countries. It’s also hard to get around.
Your reply was fine until you edited in that "woke" nonsense to try to make yourself sound clever.
It might just be that YOY growth without a rolling average is always going swing wildly when a country has a lot of negative news cycles in a year and then goes relatively quiet.
The US has been looking pretty bad, pretty consistently, for a long time now.
I don't care about sounding clever mate, especially not to internet strangers. The more obvious answer to me is the wealth of the globe has increased YoY as well, mainly thanks to capitalism, so America isn't the primary destination for opportunity anymore, which is a good thing.
