The future of Alanya's tourism and entertainment sectors was discussed at a meeting with extensive participation, chaired by District Governor Şakir Öner Öztürk. The meeting, held at the Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ALTSO) Conference Hall, was attended by Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik, District Gendarmerie Commander Colonel Hüseyin Direk, District Police Chief Murat Kenan Patat, ALTSO Chairman Eray Erdem, ALTİD Chairman Burhan Sili, relevant department heads, and representatives of the entertainment sector.
In his opening speech at the meeting, the Mayor, Özçelik, emphasized that the security incidents, particularly those occurring in the Barlar Sokağı (Bar Street), are damaging Alanya's tourism industry. Özçelik stated, "Ensuring security and bringing the sector under control are of great importance for the peace and well-being of both the local residents and the visitors."
Inspections Will Increase, No Tolerance for Irregularities.
District Governor Öztürk clearly outlined certain practices that will never be compromised in the entertainment sector. Activities such as unauthorized vending, aggressive marketing, the sale of smuggled and counterfeit alcohol, employing personnel without Social Security Institution (SGK) registration, the employment of individuals under the age of 18, and sexually suggestive dance performances will be strictly monitored from now on.
Öztürk said, "This victory requires effort. If we want lasting success, we must be prepared to make that effort. We will work together for the peace and security of Alanya."
