Dutch journalists Ank Herstel and Egbert Jan Riethof arrived in Alanya with the contributions of the Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV). Examining the historical, natural, and touristic areas of Alanya, the duo will prepare articles to be published in the Netherlands along with the photographs they take. Highlighting that more image-building work must be done due to the current state of the country's tourism, ALTAV Vice President Mehmet Dahaoğlu stated, “We are continuously hosting the members of the press whom we establish contact with at the fairs of the countries we participate in within Alanya. Our efforts continue to eliminate the negative image created abroad through the press by using the same method.”
“THEY DISCOVERED VILLAGE LIFE THROUGH A SAFARI”
Dutch journalists visited areas such as the Silkworm and Silk Production House, a village house, a banana plantation, the Castle, the Shipyard, the Dwarves Cave, Dim Stream, and Sapadere Canyon in Alanya. The Dutch journalists, who were particularly interested in the banana plantations, received information about banana production. For the journalists, who also had the opportunity to get to know the Alanya villages and village life by going on a safari tour, a dinner invitation was held at Rıhtım Restaurant on the final evening.
