President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with tourism industry representatives at the Presidential Complex. At the meeting, Alanya was represented by the Vice President of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), Ayşegül Karaca. Speaking at the meeting, President Erdoğan launched a campaign by calling on expatriate citizens living abroad to spend their holidays in Türkiye.
