"Unity is a must."

Burhan Sili, Chairman of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), stated: "We will bring together our members who have been negatively affected by the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook and initiate the legal process."

A meeting was held to discuss the situation of hotel operators and solution strategies following the bankruptcies of companies that send tourists to Türkiye. The Alanya Hoteliers Association (ALTİD) organized a meeting at the Gardenia Hotel to address the steps that hotel operators should take in response to agency bankruptcies. The meeting, chaired by ALTİD President and member of the Board of Directors of the Turkish Hoteliers Federation (TÜROFED), Burhan Sili, featured a presentation by Kaya Tüver, an official from an insurance company operating in the Mediterranean region, on the topic of "Trade Credit Insurance and Applications." He answered questions from hotel operators regarding insured and uninsured travel arrangements.

"WE SHOULD DEFEND OUR RIGHTS."

ALTİD Chairman Sili, in his statement, said, "Just like with the Thomas Cook company, we need to form a united front to seek our rights domestically and internationally in cases of bankruptcies that harm our hoteliers." Sili stated that they aim to bring together the owners of businesses in the region who are owed money by Thomas Cook, one of the world's largest tour operators that recently declared bankruptcy, under the umbrella of ALTİD. "In this situation, we once again saw that, instead of acting individually, as we always emphasize, we need to form a united front in line with our common interests. Within this framework, we are following the process and initiating legal proceedings on an international scale."
