untouchable

ChatGPT seemed like the untouchable king of AI. Over the last year Google has eaten up almost all of its lead

by

Apple and Google have closed an agreement historic for the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to rely on Gemini models and Google cloud technology. In other words, the expected new Siri It will take Google’s artificial intelligence technology underneath. Beyond the news, the agreement places Google in a position that it has been pursuing for years: that of, finally, being the main winner in this latest AI cycle. The agreement. Quick context: The AI ​​race has led Apple to lean on Gemini to reinvent Siri. Since he announced Apple Intelligence In 2024, Apple showed that it needs OpenAI for advanced responses from Siri (given by ChatGPT) and third parties like Google for functions such as Visual Search. Following the new agreement, it is confirmed that the next Apple Intelligence features will be built on Google’s cloud and its Gemini models. A victory for a Google that has been achieving the unthinkable with its AI model since last year. ChatGPT no longer competes alone. Until just a year ago, talking about AI was talking almost exclusively about ChatGPT. The rest of the competitors were minority alternatives intended for very specific uses such as development environments, image generation, or rich web browsers. Gemini is making the picture change, ChatGPT seemed to be everything in AI, it is no longer. From blow to blow. Google is managing to position Gemini as an alternative to ChatGPT by hitting the table. With Nano Bananaforced OpenAI to update its image generation models, since the distance between them was abysmal. With Antigravity it is a before and after for personal programming projects. Google is pressing the accelerator with your flash modelskeys to one of the greatest demands of the average user: response speed. Muscle and checkbook. Google plays in another league compared to OpenAI when it comes to cash generation. AI is not its main business model, it operates its own data centers and has complete control of the hardware necessary for its development. OpenAI depends on agreements with giants like Microsoft and Amazon, and you are going through hell to become profitable. Earn a lot of money, but the numbers still don’t come out. A clear strategy. Google has a well-defined strategy and a key that none of its rivals can compete with: it is the distributor of the most used mobile operating system in the world. Billions of smartphones that land on the market every year and that, just a year ago, They arrive with Gemini as the default assistant. Google had the user base, it just needed the product. Now that you have it, the question is how long OpenAI can hold off Gemini’s dam.

After invading the development of video games, AI enters an untouchable area with a Sony patent: the player himself

by

Sony has registered a patent that proposes a future where video games can complete themselves. The document, presented in September 2024 and released this weekdescribes a system of “artificial intelligence ghosts” capable of actively intervening in PlayStation games. These virtual agents would go beyond traditional guides: they would not only show how to overcome obstacles, but they could directly take control and solve entire levels while the player watches. How it works. The patent details an assistance system with several levels of intervention. For example, “Guide Mode” would allow the ghost to show the solution to a specific problem, such as solving a puzzle or executing a precise sequence of commands, but it would have to be completed by the player. “Complete Mode”, on the other hand, would hand over total control to the artificial agent, which would overcome the obstacle autonomously. More modes. The registration document describes four modes Selectable additional features: Story Mode, Combat Mode, Exploration Mode and Full Game Mode, suggesting specialization in certain tasks, depending on the type of challenge presented to the player. The system would function as a layer superimposed on the user’s character, visible on the screen as a visual reference. In some cases, this digital ghost could even hold conversations with the player’s avatar to offer contextualized instructions. What does it feed on? The technology would be fueled by recordings of previous games, including content shared on YouTube and social networks. The original patent document justifies the need to access these videos by stating that “players can research the game or search for previous gameplay on Internet sites, but that process is time-consuming.” Help systems. Player aids have come a long way. In the ’90s, players who got stuck called support lines (Nintendo’s being especially popular) or consulted guides in magazines, full of maps and secrets. The web democratized access through databases such as GameFAQs and, later, through audiovisual content on YouTube that allowed step-by-step solutions to be seen. In fact, Playstation 5 already incorporates Game Helpa system that displays clips of other users overcoming specific sections of the game. Its application, however, leaves something to be desired. Microsoft, of course, is betting on Copilot in the form of a conversational assistant that answers questions about the game. The proposal for artificial ghosts goes one step further, going from pre-recorded content to direct intervention in the game. AI in industry. The artificial intelligence integration video game development is accelerating. In 2024Unity revealed that 62% of studios that were using its tools implemented AI in some phase of production, highlighting animation as the main application. A survey from the Game Developers Conference of the same year indicates that approximately a third of professionals in the sector were already using these technologies. Data from the Tokyo Games Show raised the figure to more than half of Japanese companies. The automation of gameplay It’s not new either. Kotaku mentions in its article successful titles such as ‘Vampire Survivors’, with semi-automatic mechanics; ‘Megabonk’, nominated for the Game Awards for its automated design; or, in general, all idle subgenrewhich has such popular examples as ‘Ball X Pit’. The debate. This technology poses a dilemma: on the one hand, it would allow more players to enjoy complex content and prevent abandonment due to frustration. It would be integrated into the accessibility options (difficulty settings, control remapping, color blind modes), without forcing anyone to use it. On the other hand… do we run the risk of losing the “challenge” of games by delegating our participation to AI agents? What’s the point of playing then? And of course, it raises multiple questions in multiplayer environments, where there will be a temptation to take credit for victories achieved by the ghost.

Atomic clocks seemed untouchable. A blackout caused a difference in the official US time

by

To think that the official time of a country could fail is, at first, almost impossible. We are not talking about a domestic clock or just any server, but about the system that sets the pace of networks, satellites and critical services. That is why it is surprising to discover what happened recently in the United States. A power outage in Colorado was enough to remind us that extreme precision is not isolated from the physical world that sustains it. According to CBS, Xcel Energy applied a preventive shutdown to reduce the risk of fires due to very strong gusts of wind, and the NIST complex in Boulder was affected on Wednesday of last week. The power outage was followed by a backup generator in the institute’s laboratory. In that sequence, and according to information confirmed by NIST, the country’s time reference was slightly off for a brief interval, until part of the supply could be restored. Put a tiny deviation into context. The figure that came out of the NIST systems was 4.8 microseconds, that is, just a few millionths of a second different from what was expected. To get an idea of ​​that magnitude, NIST itself explained that A human blink lasts around 350,000 microseconds, a very different scale from the recorded mismatch. The variation is so small that for the vast majority of everyday uses it is irrelevant, but it serves to illustrate the extent to which even a minor deviation is measured, recorded and taken seriously in temporal reference systems. To understand why this offset is considered relevant, it is worth clarifying what exactly the official time of the United States is. The country is not governed directly by UTC, the coordinated international standard to which multiple nations contribute, but by a national implementation known as NISTUTC. Since 2007, that reference is established under the supervision of the Secretary of Commerce and the US Navy, and is adjusted to stay aligned with global coordinated timing. NIST-F4 Cesium Source Atomic Clock NIST calculates the official time from a weighted average of sixteen clocks spread across its campus, including hydrogen masers and cesium beam clocks, each with different functions and strengths. This approach allows us to gain stability and resilience, since the final signal is not conditioned by the behavior of a single instrument. Therefore, even when one of the elements of the system is affected, the whole continues to offer an extremely precise reference. What broke was not the watch. During the blackout, the atomic clocks continued to run thanks to their battery systems, as explained by NIST. The problem occurred in the connection between some of those clocks and the measurement and distribution systems that consolidate the final signal. When that communication was lost for an interval and one of the planned backups failed, the resulting time reference slowed down slightly. Technical personnel who remained at the facilities later activated a reserve diesel generator, which allowed part of the operation to be recovered and the system to be stabilized. NIST page The institute stressed that this gap has no appreciable effects on daily life. The nuance appears when looking at certain technical sectors, where extreme synchronization is an operational requirement. Critical infrastructures, telecommunications networks, positioning systems or some scientific environments work with such tight margins that even a minimal deviation deserves to be recorded and reported. The next step was to return to operational normality. NIST indicated that the correction of the gap will be carried out when all systems are fully powered and can be recalibrated with guarantees. Xcel Energy announced yesterday Monday that it was completing the restoration of service after the storm and the preventive cuts applied due to fire risk. Meanwhile, the institute began an internal review to evaluate the impact of the blackout and verify that redundancies and protocols responded as planned.

your main supplier is untouchable

by

In October, Ukrainian intelligence carried out an investigation. Then he found, once again, that the hole that exists around international sanctions it is palpable and numeric. kyiv had begun analyzing parts of Moscow’s latest cruise and ballistic missiles. And what they found was a deja vu. The latest: A thorough investigation of the Russian Iskander missile clearly points to a superpower. Lethality on the production line. The ballistic missile Iskander-Mthe heart of Russian terror against Ukrainian cities, rests on a solid fuel whose half should be composed by ammonium perchlorate. It turns out that Russia, after decades of industrial decline since the Soviet collapse, can no longer produce the critical ingredient to make it at scale: high purity sodium chlorate. This technical deficiency, more than any of its military forces, defines the strategic vulnerability of a weapon that has devastated places like Kryvyi Rih, where, for example, an impact on November 2024 He killed a mother and her three children. The sustained decline in Ukrainian interception rates, even in areas defended by Patriot, demonstrates that every missile that manages to overcome air defense hits densely populated areas and translates that industrial dependence into human tragedy. The network that supplies. Now, in a RUSI investigationUkrainian intelligence has found that, in the absence of domestic capacity, Moscow depends on two essential suppliers: China, which supplies 61% of imported sodium chlorate, and Uzbekistan, which supplies the remaining 39% via Farg’onaazota plant acquired by Indorama for $140 million and family-related to Lakshmi Mittal’s conglomerate. In this way, between 2024 and mid-2025, only the Uzbek factory sent more than 18 million of dollars in inputs, part of a total flow close to 37 million that sustains the production of missiles used repeatedly against the ArcelorMittal steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, paradoxical victim of the same plot business that unintentionally contributes to fueling the Russian program. Launch of an Iskander in 2018 The hole in the sanctions regime. Although sodium chlorate is included in European sanctions as a substance that supports Russian industrial capacity (the EU cannot move it), the main suppliers (Uzbeks and Chinese) continue without being punished. In fact, specialist Olena Yurchenko identifies three structural failures: the lack of comprehensive coverage of all solid fuel precursors, the absence of restrictions on third-country suppliers, and the omission of sanctions on Russian exporters and importers directly involved. The result is a perfectly functional supply chain that operates between the legal shadowsallowing Russia to replenish its arsenal despite the Western embargo. Experts they point out that this phenomenon is repeated in sectors where Western companies indirectly tolerate “parallel import” circuits. Geopolitics and political calculation. They remembered in Forbes that it would be politically more acceptable for the EU to sanction Uzbekistan, whose economic weight and ties with Europe are lower than those of China. There is no doubt, punishing Chinese suppliers would imply deep diplomatic and commercial frictions, which explains the reluctance of some Member States. However, while those decisions are postponed, Russia is advancing new domestic production complexes that will not be operational until between 2025 and 2027prolonging a critical period in which foreign dependence continues to be the Achilles heel of its missile industry. The strategic irony that sustains the conflict. ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, the city’s economic pillar and a recurring target of the Iskander, has contributed more than 500 million in taxes to Ukraine and more than 18 million in humanitarian aid since the invasion. The drama is evident: the same business structure that contributes to rebuilding Ukraine is, on a distant link in its corporate orbit, linked to production of the missiles that destroy their infrastructure. If the EU were to simultaneously sanction Uzbek suppliers and major Chinese exporters, Russia would face years of instability, high costs and reduced industrial flexibility. It could even be forced to redesign its engines and fuels, compromising the reliability of its arsenal for an extended period. What is at stake. If you like, the decisive question is whether European politics will have the courage to close the loopholes that allow global conglomerates benefit (directly or indirectly) from both sides of the war. The reason is crystal clear: as long as this legal and economic exception persists, the Iskander They will continue to fly and slaughter, sustained by a supply chain that Russian technology alone cannot replace.

‘GTA 6’ is the most anticipated game, but it is not clear if it is so untouchable as to emerge unscathed from the continuous delays

by

Rockstar has dropped a new bomb that, like before in the pastmakes the video game industry shake: GTA VI will not arrive in spring 2026 as planned. The most anticipated game of the decade is delayed until November 19, 2026, adding six more months to the wait. That is, one year from this moment. Reactions of discontent from fans have not been long in coming, but beyond the digital noise, an uncomfortable question arises: can Rockstar afford these continuous delays without its reputation, its finances or its dominant position being affected? Are they really that untouchable? Keep winning. Rockstar continues to have a privileged position. Take-Two Interactive, its parent company, reported in November 2024 about net profits of $1.96 billionits best fiscal second quarter in history. The reason? A video game released in 2013 that continues to sell as if it were a novelty: ‘GTA V’ has exceeded 220 million copies soldconsolidating itself as the second best-selling video game of all time, only behind Minecraft. The entire saga has sold more than 425 million units. They are not simple numbers. These monstrous sales are the only excuse Rockstar needs to operate under its own rules. While other studios live game by game, Rockstar swims in a pool of money generated by a game that is more than a decade old. And it goes further: ‘GTA Online’, the multiplayer component of GTA V, does not stop giving benefits with constant updates and microtransactions. This economic reality confirms that Rockstar does not need to rush: there are no investors or producers demanding immediate results, and they can take all the time in the world. Some financial cracks. However, if we closely examine this invulnerability we can find some flaws. The stock market has sent alarm signals with each delay: Take-Two shares have fallen up to 18% after the announcement of the last delay to November 2026, before stabilizing. In the first delay to May 2026, shares fell 10%going from $235.17 to approximately $211 – billions of dollars in market value evaporating in minutes. Problems in the offices. And to this is added that last week we learned that the studio had laid off between 30 and 40 employees in its offices in the United Kingdom and Canada. The IWGB union accused the company of union bustingdescribing an increasingly tense work environment. The team, after so much delay, is working under monumental pressure. The news of these layoffs comes at a critical time in development. Are they a symptom of a management that, despite its financial muscle, is beginning to show cracks in its work model? Delays have a human cost in the form of tyrannical days and burned out professionals, not very pleasant details that have already appeared in the past in Rockstar’s history. The earthquake. Each new delay is like a very heavy stone falling into a peaceful lake and generating shock waves that affect very distant launches. For example, games like ‘The Elder Scrolls VI’, ‘Fable’, the next ‘Assassin’s Creed’ or the new ‘Mass Effect’ still do not have a release date, all waiting for Rockstar to make a move, and now they find themselves with a dilemma: the first half of the year was better for them, which until today was a forbidden zone. Now what: bring the launch forward a few months or go to 2027? (Remember that we are not talking here about calendar whims, but rather possible losses of millions of dollars). This is the total absorption power of the Rockstar game market. Untouchable, but not invulnerable. This new delay leaves Rockstar in a peculiar position: no one doubts that ‘GTA VI’ is going to be a successbut date cancellation after date cancellation, the image of the game and the company itself are eroding. If we add to that that we are experiencing turbulent times in the industry, where the exorbitant budgets and the pace of hardware releases are absolutely broken, we can come to a conclusion: Rockstar and its ‘GTA’ are untouchable, but to what extent can they allow themselves to continue going indefinitely free of the industry and the public? In Xataka | The ghost of video games at 100 euros is closer than ever. And the owners of ‘GTA VI’ know it

Some of the most advanced satellites in the world seemed untouchable. Two hackers showed that they could be kidnapped

by

In satellites, each maneuver depends on software that is rarely subjected to public security evidence. Demonstrations in controlled environments have put vulnerabilities on the table that, under certain conditions, could allow the Remote Space Systems Control. It is not a timely failure or an isolated experiment: it is a sign that security should be reviewed with magnifying glass before it becomes news for wrong reasons. In August, during conferences Black Hat USA and Def with held in Las Vegas, researchers shared their findings, According to IEEE Spectrum. The work focused on two key pieces: the Core Flight System (CFS), used in NASA multiple missions, including the telescope James Webband Yamcs, a control system of the European company Space Applications Services. The failures, however, were identified and corrected before their dissemination. The finding reopening the debate on cybersecurity in space Behind the finding are Andrzej Olchawa and Milenko Starcik, experts from Visionspace with direct experience in space operations. They analyzed open source software with the mentality of an adversary, seeking reproducible vulnerabilities. They did not need months of analysis: in a few hours they managed to locate 37 failures that, in controlled scenarios, allowed to manipulate critical systems. They acted on their own environments and coordinated with developers to patch the software before disseminating their conclusions. The analysis of the Core Flight System (CFS) revealed that, although it is a key piece in NASA missions, its exploitation would not be simple. To compromise it would take toCceso Physical to a land station and operate at frequencies reserved for space communications. Even so, researchers warn that, in the hands of a state actor with sufficient resources and coverage, this scenario is plausible. In their demonstration they explained that, with that capacity, it would be possible to raise orders to the satellite and modify their behavior. Yamcs, unlike CFS, was more accessible to an attacker. The researchers showed that a campaign would suffice Phishing Successful to load a malicious configuration in the control center. With that entrance door they could issue arbitrary orders or alter files, all from any location with Internet connection. The exercise showed how this vector opens a much larger and less protected attack surface. In Black Hat USA 2025, Andrzej Olchawa deepened the reach of the tests and shared details on how vulnerabilities exploited. He stressed that All maneuvers were executed in simulated environments and that no real satellite was at risk. His explanation sought to give unlarmed technical context, showing precisely how far actors with sufficient knowledge and access to the right systems could reach. “In some cases, we were able to send arbitrary telecomandos to the ships through the mission control system. In others, we managed to take control of the entire control center and, in other cases, if you are able to send telecomands to the ship, you can get remote execution of code directly in it.” The threat panorama has changed: where there were private networks and local stations before, there are now remote control, cloud services and connections from home. This evolution multiplies the attack possibilities, according to researchers, and explains why theoretical vulnerabilities are now a reason for alert. An example is THE ATTACK AGAINST VIASAT IN 2022which affected thousands of users and coincided with the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The case suggests that space systems are not isolated from global conflicts. Corrections arrived on time for open projects, with updates that mitigated the techniques demonstrated in the laboratory. The pending challenge is in closed systemswhere the absence of access to the code limits the review by external experts.

Our conversations with Claude were untouchable. Today the urgency of data presses to make them raw materials of the AI

by

We usually talk to artificial intelligence as if I were one more person and sometimes we trust very personal information. However, we rarely stop to think about what happens to those conversations. Until now, the standard in good part of the sector had been to use them to train models, unless the user opposed. Anthropic represented an exception: Claude He had an explicit policy not to use the conversations of his private clients for this purpose. That exception has just broken. The reason is direct and forceful: the data is the raw material of the AI. Anthropic has just announced in his official blog An update of its service conditions for consumers and their privacy policy. The users of the Free, Pro and Max plans, including the sessions in Claude Code, must explicitly accept or reject that their conversations are used for the training of future models. The company set the deadline until September 28, 2025 and warned that, after that date, it will be necessary to choose the preference to continue using Claude. The Anthropic turn. The modification does not affect everyone equally: services subject to commercial terms are left out, such as Claude for Work, Claude Gov, Claude for Education, or access by API through third parties such as Amazon Bedrock or VerTex Ai from Google Cloud. Anthropic states that the new configuration will only apply to chats and code sessions initiated or retaken after accepting the conditions, and that old conversations without additional activity will not be used to train models. It is a relevant operational distinction: change acts on future activity. Why this change? Anthropic points out that all language models “train using large amounts of data” and that real interactions offer valuable signals to improve capacities such as reasoning or code correction. At the same time, several specialists have been pointing to a structural problem: The open web is running out as a fresh and easily accessible source of informationso that companies look for new data paths to sustain the continuous improvement of the models. In that context, user conversations acquire strategic value. Although Anthropic emphasizes security (improving Claude and reinforcing safeguards against harmful uses, such as scams and abuses), the decision probably also responds to competition: OpenAi and Google remain references in the field and require large volumes of interaction to advance. Without enough data, the distances in the AI ​​race that we are witnessing live can increase. Five years instead of thirty days. Next to the training permit, Anthropic has expanded the retention period for shared data for improvement purposes: five years if the user agrees to participatecompared to 30 days that govern if that option is not activated. The company also specifies that the eliminated chats will not be included in future training and that the feedback Envoy can also be kept. It also states that it combines automated processes and tools to filter or obfuscate sensitive information that does not sell user data to third parties.

Spain has been an untouchable power of Mediterranean tourism for years. A country steps on your heels: Türkiye

by

With tourism recovering (and even overcoming) the pulse I had before the pandemic, Spain is not the only country that seeks break records and crowned at the top of the podium of international destinations. About 2,500 kilometers from the Iberian Peninsula there is another country, also bathed in the Mediterranean, with a powerful offer of beaches, culture, heritage and gastronomy that struggles for Get a hole in it World top 3 of tourism, a select club now basically reserved to France, Spain and the US. Which? Türkiye. All this accompanied, of course, of a powerful flow of billions of dollars in income for the sector. A for the Top 3. Türkiye is determined to increase at the top of the world tourism ranking. He left it Of course in April his minister of the branch, Mehmet Nuri Ersoyduring a forum organized in Eruzurum, northwest of the country: “In 2024 we managed to become one of the four largest tourist economies in the world, but we will not stop there. Our goal is to be among the first three countries in tourism.” Same message He movedThese days Mehmet İşler, vice president of the Turkish Hotel Federation (Türofed), insisting that the “objective” of the sector is to turn the nation into “one of the three main” powers in the sector. “We have gone from being an affordable holiday destination to be a recognized tourist center,” He claimed in statements collected by Hürriyet Daily Newsthe oldest newspaper in Türkiye. How many tourists do they receive? According to The data Disseminated by his Ministry of Tourism and Culture, in 2024 Türkiye received 62.3 million visitors who translated into income from value of 61.1 billion of dollars. The figure however has a “but”: those 62.3 million include both the 52.6 million of international tourists who passed through the country during the year as the nearly 10 million Turks residing abroad and visited their homeland. The nuance does not mean that the trend of international tourism has been clearly positive in Türkiye. Those 52.6 million foreign visitors suppose A historical record and Improve 9% The result of 2023. The rise also moved to the money generated by the sector: the 61.1 billion dollars registered by the Turkish Statistical Institute (Tüik) reflect an year -on -year increase of 8.3%. And how is 2025? The year has also started with the occasional joy for the Turkish industry, although with nuances. The income flow grew 5.6% during the first quarter to place in 9,450 million Of dollars, but the general balance of visitors was not so good: it stayed at 6.7 million foreign tourists, 5% less than last year. The objectives for this year are ambitious, according to Hürriyet Daily: reach 65 million visitors and shoot the billing at 64,000 million dollars. Expanding the photo. To appreciate the growth of Turkish tourism, however, to take perspective and follow its evolution over the last years. He Historical record De Türsab show that in 2017 the country received around 32.4 million foreign visitors. In 2024 they were 52.6 millionso the increase was 62% in less than a decade. In cash and sound money, that boom resulted in an increase even greater of income Climbing in the ranking. Thanks to this growth Türkiye sneaked first in the Top 10 of the great international destinations and climbed positions in that table. The World Population Review website places it in The sixth place In 2024, behind France, Spain, USA, China and Italy. In other classifications (2023) occupies the fifth. It would actually be various criteria When ordering destinations, such as the flow of international travelers, the weight of the tourism sector or the volume of income. During Your intervention In Erzurum, Ersoy claimed that Turkey managed World Tourism Organizationhe trusted to be fourth in 2024. Important how much … and where. The growth of Turkish tourism does not respond only to the attractiveness of Istanbul or Capadocia, its landscape and gastronomy or the government’s commitment to boost the sector. 2024 data show that it has managed to become strong in certain key markets, such as Russian or Iranian. The first, who now see their flights to Europe for The answer From the West to the war in Ukraine, they grew 6% to add 6.7 million of travelers, almost 13% of the total. Iran received about 3.2 million tourists, 31% more than the previous year. Other key markets were the German, the second main issuing market, with 6.6 millionthe British (4.4 million) or the Bulgarians (2.9), also of course from the Turkish citizens who live outside the country and fly to visit their nation. In 2024 they touched the 10 million. In the first three months of the year the demand punctured in the Russian, German and Iranian markets, so Türsab trusts in alleviating its fall with China, Germany or the United Kingdom. The figures import (all). Turkey tourist emerge is interesting because it has not only translated into more visitors. That trend has come accompanied by greater income flow in a country that, Recognize Ersoyit has been proposed to “prioritize quality over quantity”. “The objective is not only to increase the number of visitors, but go to tourists with high expenses not related to accommodation.” For now, 2025 would have started with an increase in almost 5% In the average spending per traveler. And how does Spain affect? Spain and Türkiye may be separated by thousands of kilometers, but in a way they point to the same markets thanks to their heritage offer, Sun and beach. Although their sector drinks largely from Russian and Iranian markets, Turkish hotels have attracted an intense flow of German and British travelers, very relevant markets for Spanish tourism. Only in 2024 both countries added 20% of foreign demand. Turkish growth in those key points could threaten that of Spain, which It goes now Towards the barrier of 100 million of foreign travelers. In his favor Türkiye has another great asset: prices. Although the fees of their hotels … Read more
