Mehmet Dahaoğlu, Vice President of both the Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV) and the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), provided information about the "Eyes of Alanya" International Alanya Photography Competition, which was organized by ALTAV and supported by the Alanya Municipality, the Alanya Tourism Operators Association (ALTİD), Alanya Cable Car, and Stay Property. In his statement, Dahaoğlu said that the interest in the competition is increasing every year. Dahaoğlu stated, "We continue to promote Alanya on every platform. In this regard, our 'Eyes of Alanya' photography competition, which we announced through social media, has received great interest. We have seen a wide participation from local and foreign art lovers and tourists living in our city. Some of the selected works will be used in Alanya promotion activities both domestically and internationally."
The exhibition and ALTİD stand attracted great interest.
The Eyes of Alanya photography exhibition area and the ALTAV New Year's stand at the New Year's Bazaar attracted a large number of local and foreign visitors. Art enthusiasts who watched the photography exhibition with interest also had a fun time playing Alanya-themed games at the ALTAV stand. Games such as hammering a nail, landing an airplane at TAV Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP), and throwing a ping pong ball at Kızılkule were very popular with children and families. In addition, the ALTAV management distributed thousands of New Year's balloons to all children, both local and foreign, for two days.
