I didn't get it again. What did you want to say, meth head? For example, the US citizens are not allowed to travel to Cuba. So if Russia will completely halt flights to Turkey (the government can not forbid people to visit Turkey, but it can cut off the air traffic between our countries), so Turkey will lost a half of its whole touristic flow. What will the Russians do? They will travel to Cyprus and Greece instead. Both are in the same region and both have the same prices as Turkey. FYI: Turkey was very popular here (the 2nd country by the number of Russian tourists after Finland of course) because it was much cheaper than Cyprus and Greece. When the prices have been aligned, there is no difference anymore, so the people have started traveling more to other countries:

Course the US and Chinese citizens spend more for tourism than Russians, because Russian population is only 140 millions while the USA has over than 2 times more, not even mention the size of Chinese population. So the stats say that
an average Russian travels more than the US or Chinese citizen and spends more money. So Turkey is going to lose a lot on the Russian tourists only...
