Research Aim
The study is seeking to critically analyse the impact of dispute with neighbour countries affects
GDP in Greece and Turkey.
Topic Background
The study is seeking to conduct research on the way disputes with neighbouring countries

progression of the economy.
Justification
The study will ensure a comparative and comprehensive understanding on the way economies of
Greece and Turkey are affected by conflicts with neighbouring countries. It is significant to carry
out the study so that a holistic understanding can be ensured on the geopolitical tensions posed
economic risks (Ljung, 2024). Diverse strategies will be informed by the study so that negative
impacts can be mitigated on investment, trade, and tourism. Insights from the study will support
the policymakers to develop productive measures so that economic growth and stability can be
fostered.
Research Gap
In the landscape of research and study, it is significant to conduct further research on this topic
so that a comparative and comprehensive understanding can be ensured on the diverse economic

impacted by the geopolitical conflicts. The findings of the study will support to generate
productive preventive strategies and to mitigate negative impacts.

as the research objectives (Newman, 2024). Diverse objectives are designed which are outlined
below.
To examine what are the disputes which Greece and Turkey have with its neighbour
countries.
To evaluate the challenges faced by tourism industry in Greece and Turkey due to these
disputes with neighbour countries.
To assess how to overcome these challenges.
Research Questions
Naturally, the issues which will be addressed through the study are explored through the research
questions (Burghardt, 2024). Various research questions of the study are explored below.
1. What are the disputes which Greece and Turkey have with neighbour countries?
2. What are the challenges faced by tourism industry in Greece and Turkey due to these
disputes with neighbour countries?
3. What are the measures to overcome these challenges?
