Within the framework of the Alanya Castle and the Mediterranean's best-preserved shipyard (UNESCO) World Cultural Heritage studies—one of today's most important Medieval castles where life has continued for 2,400 years—a presentation on "Management Planning" was delivered by Dr. Giora Solar, a member of the Board of Directors of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), as part of the Alanya Castle and Shipyard Management Plan studies organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Alanya Municipality, and the East Mediterranean Culture and History Research Foundation. Dr. G. Solar stated that Alanya's candidacy for the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list would provide significant contributions to tourism and that tour operators would sell the Alanya destination more extensively. He emphasized that historical texture and nature hold great importance not only in tourism but also in people's daily lives, and that the region should not be distanced from local communities to ensure that historical structures do not lose their traditional atmosphere.
