Burhan Sili, President of the Alanya Tourist Operators Association (ALTİD), listed what is required in tourism under four main headings. In his statement, Sili noted the following: By moving beyond sea, sand, and sun tourism, we can target a figure of 50 million tourists nationwide. 90 percent of the tourists coming to Antalya arrive via charter flights. In addition to charter flights, the number of scheduled flights must also be increased. Alanya is almost the first region to have opened up to tourism in the Mediterranean basin. Regions such as Side, Belek, and Kundu were developed later through allocations thanks to state support. In terms of increasing the quality of our facilities in Alanya, low-interest loans must absolutely be provided to the sector. The workforce must be enhanced by having employees and middle-level managers receive training, and we expect support from the state on this matter as well. Our sector provides a significant contribution to the national economy. The current situation of the tourism sector should be improved through a regulation suitable for the structure of the sector within the Ministry of Labour.
