[fazersharp]

At the time there was no approved hotels in Turkey for the purpose of quarantine. And tourists had no restrictions once there so it was "just like an extra Holiday" they may well of tested negative before arrival in Turkey but than caught it there during their "extended Holiday" and then not isolated for the 10 days at home like they should. 

Not true. Travellers from India required to stay 14 days in approved dormitories

But the deals are causing anger in Turkey, where a 7pm curfew is in place until May 17. Everyone entering Turkey must present a negative Covid-19 test, but only travellers from India are required to quarantine for 14 days in designated dormitories. Most tourists on short-term stays are exempt from the curfew.

Vision Travels and Tours, also based in Pakistan but which lists a UK phone number, tells travellers: “No worries, be happy … travel back to UK from Pakistan and have holidays in Turkey during Covid 2021.”

  “No worries, be happy … travel back to UK from Pakistan and have holidays in Turkey during Covid 2021.” :rolleyes >:
Murat Emir, a deputy with Turkey’s main opposition party, questioned how many travellers from Pakistan and India had used the loophole to “wander around freely” before travelling to Britain. He suggested the quarantine requirement on travellers was not being applied consistently in Turkey.
“British citizens coming to Turkey from Pakistan can wander around freely, causing the Indian variant to spread here,” he said.
