Alanya Mayor Adem Murat Yücel, Anadolujet General Manager İbrahim Doğan, Alanya Association of Tourism Professionals (ALTİD) President and Turkish Hotel Association (TÜROFED) Board Member Burhan Sili, tourism managers, politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and members of the press attended the ceremony.
ADVANTAGES OF THE PROTOCOL WERE EXPLAINED
Before the signing ceremony held at Grand Okan Otel, the advantages that the prepared protocol will provide to winter tourism were evaluated. Anadolujet General Manager İbrahim Doğan provided information regarding the ‘Advantage Route’ program between December 1-31, and the ‘Winter Holiday Package’ programs between January 1-March 31 and April 1-May 31.
ALANYA'S ADVANTAGES ARE SOARING
Anadolujet General Manager İbrahim Doğan, stating that the project prepared with the slogan “Alanya Soars with Advantages” will provide a great contribution to the domestic market and the promotion of Alanya, said the following:
"With this project, which we have launched under the name 'Opportunity Point,' we will increase the potential power of Alanya. Through the effective use of Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), we will introduce all parts of Central Anatolia to Alanya. In this context, Ankara has been determined as the center. Those who wish to come to Alanya from anywhere in Turkey will be able to benefit from this advantage at a price of approximately 149 TL, covering the transfer to Esenboğa so that they can fly to Alanya via Ankara, round-trip flight tickets, a one-night all-inclusive room price in Alanya, and their transfer from GZP to their hotel, with the same system covering the return journey," said Doğan, who stated that the project would be promoted through 8 pages in an in-flight magazine, on social media, and via communication materials.
PRESIDENT YÜCEL: WE MUST PRODUCE ALTERNATIVES
Pointing out that tradesmen are going through difficult days due to the Russia crisis, Alanya Mayor Yücel said, “We must produce alternatives in tourism.” Emphasizing that the project will be an added value for the region, Yücel stated, “I believe this project will be an opportunity to promote the history, culture, and social values of Alanya. In this way, we will revitalize domestic tourism by appealing to domestic tourists. I believe the project will be successful and I am ready to provide all kinds of support.”
“WINTER SEASON SHOULD BECOME ACTIVE”
Stating that efforts are being continued so that more tourist facilities can remain open during the winter season and tradesmen can benefit from the arriving tourists, ALTİD President Sili said, “With the support of Alanya Municipality and the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), and in partnership with Anadolujet, we have prepared holiday and tour packages to revitalize the stagnant winter season.”
SNOWDROP OF THE TAURUS MOUNTAINS TO BE VISITED
It was stated that passengers arriving in Alanya via Anadolu Jet through Ankara will benefit from services including transfers, hotels, restaurants, museums, city tours, as well as bicycle tours, Taurus Snowdrop tours, and banana grove tours with very affordable package prices.
