1999
The G20 started in 1999 as a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis.
200 million euros
-- The summit is expected to generate 200 million euros (215 million U.S. dollars) in Turkey's tourism revenue, Turkish analyst Sinan Ozedincik said. Antalya, the fifth most populous city in Turkey, is a popular tourist destination with some 13 million travellers spending their vacations there every year.
