Kemal Kahya, a member of the ALANYA Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV) Board of Directors, explored the tourism landscape of the Baltic country of Estonia and promoted Alanya. During meetings at the Alanya stand, which was established under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism at an international tourism fair, Kahya shared his impressions and the information he gathered from his discussions: "THY WILL ADD AN ADDITIONAL FLIGHT FROM TALLINN TO ANTALYA." During a meeting with Ferhan Yılmaz, Deputy General Manager of Kilit Global, on behalf of Tez Tur, it was stated that the target for the Baltic market for Antalya is 85,000. It was stated that this market share is planned to be 50% for Lithuania, 25% for Estonia, and 25% for Latvia. It was announced that Turkish Airlines (THY) plans a charter flight from Tallinn to Antalya in June of this year. It was noted that this additional flight will continue until October, and that at least 35% of the guests will come to Alanya. "ALANYA IS POPULAR IN THESE COUNTRIES." In a meeting with Gvidas Aukstuolis, General Manager of Kidy Tour, which is new to the market, it was stated that the target for Antalya in the Baltic market is 30,000 people. This figure is 50% for Lithuania, 15% for Latvia, and 35% for Estonia. It was stated that 50% of these guests may prefer Alanya. "ALANYA IS MORE SOCIABLE THAN KEMER." Ethem Okudur, owner of Akay Agency, representing Nova Turas, one of the oldest and most significant players in the market, stated that the target for the Baltic market in the 2018 season was 85,000. He stated that 60% of this would be from Lithuania, 25% from Estonia, and 15% from Latvia. The overall increase compared to 2017 is approximately 25%. It was noted that Alanya has shown significant growth in these markets, and the reasons for this include the increase in the number of beds due to new hotels and the fact that Alanya is a more sociable city compared to Kemer. It was stated that the general plan is to move 60% of the guests coming to Antalya to Alanya. "A UD PLAYER WAS BROUGHT FROM ALANYA." It was observed that early booking sales for Antalya are very good in the Baltic market, which consists of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and that there is significant demand for Alanya. There was great interest in our stand. We did not refuse the requests of our esteemed Ambassador Canan Ünal, and we brought a retired state choir ud player from Alanya, whom we thought would add a beautiful melody to our Turkish stand. Participants showed great interest, took pictures together, and shared them on social media.
