Within the framework of a protocol signed between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of National Education, tourism schools will be transformed into project schools. ALTİD President Sili, emphasizing the importance of sectoral education, stated, "As many as 50,000 personnel are employed in hotels in Alanya alone."
Hüseyin Er, the District Director of National Education for Alanya, Burhan Sili, the Chairman of the Alanya Association of Tourism Operators (ALTİD), and representatives from relevant hotels met at Ümit Altay Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School. During the meeting, they discussed the amendment to the regulation in Law No. 3308, collaborations to be made for the development of vocational education, and the transformation of tourism schools into project schools within the framework of the protocol between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of National Education. They also exchanged information and opinions on these topics.
“Thank you to ALTİD for their contributions.”
ALTİD, as an organization, maintains close and continuous contact with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of National Education, along with other state institutions. Burhan Sili, President of ALTİD and Member of the Board of Directors of the Turkish Hoteliers Federation (TÜROFED), stated, "One of the biggest problems in the tourism sector, especially in regions that provide seasonal services, is the lack of qualified personnel. In this context, we continuously support tourism schools and training programs. We believe that sectoral training is essential for the sustainability of the labor-intensive tourism industry." Sili emphasized that approximately 50,000 employees are employed in the approximately 600 tourist accommodation facilities located only in Alanya. "Other sectors operating in the city also contribute to increasing employment by indirectly supporting tourism. This is why the importance of trained and well-equipped personnel is so valuable," he added. Hüseyin Er, District Director of National Education in Alanya, thanked ALTİD President Sili and the members of the ALTİD board for their contributions to tourism education.
