Exclusive Escapes has blamed “one of the toughest years to date for tourism in Turkey” for its demise.

Managing director Andrew Lee described the last two years of trading as “challenging”.

And he said problems have considerably grown in 2015 as both the terrorist shooting of 38 tourists near Sousse in Tunisia and the ongoing fight against Isis in neighbouring Syria and Iraq put potential tourists off travelling to the country.

Lee said: “It’s no secret that 2015 has been one of the toughest years to date for tourism in Turkey, largely due to the country’s geo-political situation. This comes on the back of two challenging years of trading.
