Keep in mind though that Turkey has a very large tourism sector (that has doubled in size as a % of GDP), which is an export with little external inputs and is mostly all 'value add'.
This is an excellent addition to my post. Thank you to share.
I never thought about tourism this way. Hat tip! WTO says:
Tourism is an export sector. It is a source of foreign exchange earnings; it grows a countryʻs national output; it is subject to the rigours of the international marketplace.
You wrote: "that has doubled in size as a % of GDP"
To clarify this phrase: Do you mean: Tourism, as a share of GDP, has _recently_ doubled? Google tells me: 2014: 4.7% -> 2019: 11% (LGTM)
Or do you mean something else? (I promise: I am not nitpicking.)
