Wife and I are booking excursions for an upcoming trip. A few weeks ago, we were quoted $65. Today it's $180. Apparently there is a big run going on. Ugh.

Is this in US dollars? Then the inflation would be on the US side

That helps when you're booking flights for sure. But we're interacting directly with a highly reputable excursion group.

Annualized inflation in Turkey in 2018-19 was close to 10%. Last month = 60%!!
