A group of influencers from Uzbekistan, in promotional activities held in Alanya, aims to implement planned charter flights between Alanya-Gazipaşa Airport and Tashkent-Uzbekistan in the near future. Under the leadership of the Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV), and hosted by the Alanya Municipality, a program was prepared for 15 content creators in collaboration with Asialuxe and Destination Services. The group of 15 Uzbek influencers, with a total of 8 million followers, had the opportunity to explore the beauty of Alanya for three days from May 30th to June 1st. This event will strengthen the bonds between Turkey and Uzbekistan, two countries with a shared culture. With the expected start of flights between Alanya-Gazipaşa Airport and Tashkent-Uzbekistan soon, the two countries, which are geographically distant, will become closer, and these flights will also facilitate the reunion of these two friendly countries. **"WE VALUE THESE TYPES OF EVENTS"** Abdurrahman Açıkalın, Advisor to the Mayor of Alanya and Deputy Chairman of ALTAV, thanked the influencers for their contributions to the promotion of Alanya, saying, "Following visits from Uzbekistan, a group of 15 influencers has re-established a beautiful cultural connection and friendship between the two countries. I would like to thank Asialuxe and Destination Services, which are working with ALTAV in this organization, for valuing this flight operation and for their efforts to bring the two friendly countries closer together. Our influencer group experienced Stand Up Paddle, one of Alanya's most important water sports. They visited Alanya Castle and the ancient city of Syedra, which shed light on our history. They also experienced a cable car ride with a view of Alanya's magnificent Cleopatra Beach. During their time in the city, they had the opportunity to experience Alanya's local flavors. We value these types of events in order to promote Alanya in every way and to expand into different markets. We hope that with this program, we can contribute to the development of relations between Turkey and Uzbekistan, revitalize tourism in both countries, and start charter flights from Alanya-Gazipaşa to Tashkent-Uzbekistan as soon as possible." **"ALANYA-UZBEKISTAN FLIGHTS SHOULD START"** The Uzbek influencers who toured Alanya shared their thoughts and impressions of the city. Dilshodbek Nazarov, a prominent figure in the drama, film, cinema, and advertising industries in Uzbekistan, with 4.8 million followers, the group's most influential audience, said about the influencers' trip to Alanya: "The historical texture and natural beauty of Alanya amazed us. There is a unique beauty in every corner of the city. We shared these beauties with our followers from time to time, but we are eager to share more and tell them about Alanya. We had the opportunity to create very good content. I received very positive feedback from my followers, and many people who were interested in Alanya contacted me. However, I would also like to mention that when we arrived in Alanya, our plane landed in Antalya. We traveled by bus from Antalya to Alanya, which was very tiring. If the planned direct flights between Alanya-Gazipaşa and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, start, it will be much more comfortable for the people of these two countries. I think this will be a reason for preference for Uzbek citizens. With the start of these flights, more people can discover the beauty of Alanya. I would love to come back if these flights start. My time in Alanya was incredibly enjoyable, and I am looking forward to visiting again." **THEY EXPERIENCED SUP AT SUNRISE** On the second day of the event, the influencers started their day early by sailing from Kızılkule and practiced Stand Up Paddle (SUP) in front of Kızılkule and the shipyard, which are symbols of Alanya. This activity, which started at 6:00 AM, offered an unforgettable experience with Alanya's unique sunrise and historical texture. The influencer who succeeded in SUP was presented with a symbolic award, creating an unforgettable memory for the day. Valisher Anvarov, who received the award together with his girlfriend Nigina Fakhriddinova, who was selected as the Miss Uzbekistan Beauty Queen five times between 2019 and 2024, expressed their feelings, saying, "We are very happy to participate in such an event with the magnificent sunrise of Alanya. This award will always remind us of our experiences in Alanya. We are eager to share these memories with our followers." **THEY CAPTURED ALANYA FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES** During the afternoon, the influencers who went on a yacht tour in Alanya's turquoise waters had the opportunity to capture the city from different angles. The team, which followed a route surrounded by the historical Alanya Castle and unique beach views, also showcased Alanya's tourist appeal through their posts on social media. **THE ANCIENT CITY OF SYEDRA ENCHANTED THEM WITH ITS HISTORY** As part of the tourist activities in Alanya, the influencer group also visited the ancient city of Syedra. The tour of the ancient city's ruins provided the group with the opportunity to closely learn about Alanya's historical depth and cultural heritage and to create content there. The influencers were enchanted by the historical structures such as the paved streets, the ancient theater, and the bath. During this historical tour, the influencers also shared the magnificent views of the ancient city with their followers on social media and provided information about Alanya's historical treasures. **THEY CELEBRATED THEIR LOVE IN ALANYA** Romantic moments were experienced during a special dinner organized at Illusion Palm Beach. Influencer Sakhiev Abduvali, username Sakhievv, proposed to his girlfriend Feruzabonu Yusupova, username _feruzayusupova, and she said "yes." The couple, who took their first steps on the path to marriage with the breathtaking view of Alanya Castle in the background, said, "The magnificent atmosphere of Alanya made this special moment even more unforgettable. We would like to thank everyone who took care of us." This special moment was met with great enthusiasm and celebration by the other influencers in the group, and the celebrations continued at Illusion Event Hall. **A SPECIAL ALANYA MENU WAS PREPARED FOR THE INFLUENCERS** A special menu consisting of Alanya's local flavors was offered to the influencer group at the hotel where they stayed. This special menu was prepared to promote Alanya's rich cuisine and to provide the influencers with an unforgettable gastronomic experience. The menu included a wide range of flavors, including Alanya's registered dishes, local appetizers, and traditional desserts.
