The Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV) Board of Directors meeting was held at Grand Okan Hotel, chaired by ALTAV and Alanya Mayor Adem Murat Yücel. The meeting was also attended by foreign guests residing in Alanya, referred to as "New Alanyans," who serve as honorary ambassadors of the region both domestically and internationally. During the meeting, discussions focused on increasing the support of "New Alanyans" in promotional activities and trade fairs, encouraging them to share more Alanya-related visuals and content on their social media accounts, combating negative propaganda campaigns on social media, promoting diversity in tourism, ensuring security, extending the tourist season, and developing winter tourism.
Chairman Yücel said, "Our resident foreign nationals have now become one of us. They are the ones who best represent our city abroad. Through their posts on social media and their presence in Alanya, they are our honorary ambassadors in their own countries. In our city, which is an example to the world with its peace and harmony, 31,500 people from 82 nations reside. This is our greatest wealth."
