Representatives from 13 tourism agencies that achieved record sales in Latvia have arrived in Alanya, in a collaboration between ALANYA Municipality, the Alanya Association of Tourism Operators (ALTİD), the Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV), and Turkish Airlines (THY). The delegation, who will spend 3 days in Alanya, will participate in cultural and city tours and will also conduct special research on Alanya's regional cuisine. Subsequently, the representatives will set up a camp in Kemer for 2 days to complete their work, and then return to their country.
Burhan Sili, President of ALTİD and Member of the Board of Directors of the Turkish Hoteliers Federation (TÜROFED), made a statement on the subject: "For the first time, travel agency representatives visiting Alanya will experience our region. During their direct sales activities in their own countries, they will be able to better explain Alanya to the tourist profile conducting vacation research and play a more effective role in their vacation choices." Nurkan Şaşmaz, Honorary Consul of Latvia in Alanya, said, "This work carried out in the field of tourism is very beneficial for the bilateral relations between the two countries. Our efforts will continue to increase the number of tourists from Latvia visiting our country and region."
