The Russian Tourism Union (RTU) has dismissed reports of widespread refusals of solo male travelers at Turkish hotels. The organization clarified that while certain hotels may indeed refuse check-in to solo men, this is not a blanket policy applicable across the country.
RTU noted that tour operators are generally aware of such restrictions at specific hotels and take them into account when booking trips for clients.
RTU's Recommendations
The tourism union advised travelers to check with their tour operator or directly with the hotel about current check-in policies before booking, especially if traveling alone.
The RTU's statement did not specify which hotels impose such restrictions or the reasons behind them.
Turkish officials have not commented on this matter in connection with the statement issued.
