Bird flu has been confirmed in 18 human cases with three deaths in Dogubeyazit in Agri province near the eastern border. Eight other provinces have had human cases, with four of these cases confirmed as H5N1 bird flu by a World Health Organization lab in London. There is no evidence of human-to-human transmission and authorities have culled more than 700,000 animals in an effort to control the disease’s spread. For travelers there is little risk if you stay away from live birds and poultry markets, and handle poultry products carefully: if preparing meals, clean and cook thoroughly.

Hi,im a student currently studying travel and tourism at City of Westminster College as part of my tour operations module i need information about the external factors that are affecting Turkey and how tour operators are dealing with it i.e. do they have a contingency plan.
I would be grateful if you can provide me with the relevant information as soon as possible.
Thank you
