Quoting teaschip: This doesn't happen here in the U.S. If that was the case, hotels would be bankrupt here. |
Just because it doesn't happen in the US doesn't make it wrong!!!
Part of the beauty of Turkia (and other places) is their culture and traditions - and especially the differences between their culture and traditions and our own......

I don't care if it happens in Turkey or in any other country, I feel it's still wrong. We have privacy acts for everything and this should be included.

The US may well have such privacy acts......
But Turkia is outside of the juristriction of US law - despite what some Americans seems to think!
I am not in a position to be able to comment on what, if any, privacy laws exist in Turkia - but I suspect that very few do and that they will be vastly different to the privacy acts in the US.

I am entitled to my opinion here, this has nothing to do with America, so please don't make this more than what it is. I would imagine most people would have to agree, they would not like to have to divulge their personal life with hotel staff when checking into a hotel.

Of course you are!

OK - maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "privacy acts"
Would you explain please so I can properly understand what you are saying here.

It is true, that locals and foreigner can not always share rooms. It depends on where you are going in Turkey.

Is it that most (all?) hotels in certain areas prohibit this sharing of rooms?
Or does it simply vary from hotel to hotel regardless areas?

My personal opinion is that many countries are priveleged with certain freedoms, suck as UK and USA, however, when one visits a different country, one should educate themselves with that country's culture and customs and respect them.
After all, if we want to live and do as we do in our home, then perhaps we should stay home. Just my opinion.

If you go to areas with lots of tourism, there will not be a problem. But if you go into the country some hotels will you not allow to share a room. But not all hotels, so you just have to get your self informed very well.

Point taken. However, with countries whom their ecomony is suffering, they may want to be more flexible and tolerant of tourists. I'm not asking them to compromise their customs and traditions, but maybe have more tolerance to their paying customers.

Maybe even to those countries money is not everything comparing to traditions 
Thank God,in some places,some traditions still is not for sell!
