The tourist season this year has been characterised by a markedly larger tourist boom than a year ago.

In addition to measures at the border, state police in co-operation with other institutions have seen to it that there are no incidents with tourists.

Police have been close to vacationers even when they sought help. There have been 85 cases of helping at sea where the situation has really been critical. There have been problems in Karaburun and mountainous areas. We've had cases of people getting into the sea without knowing swimming or swimming tools that have broken.
