At the night, which was also attended by Alanya District Governor Hulusi Doğan, Alanya Mayor Av. Hasan Sipahioğlu, Gendarmerie Commander Major Mustafa Şahin, Police Chief Turgay Çalışkan, and Chief Public Prosecutor Ali Yeldan; ALTİD President Gülçin Güner stated that due to the ash clouds that were effective in Europe, May did not meet expectations in terms of tourism, but as tourism professionals, they are hopeful starting from June, and that Alanya will gain more from the Russian market as a result of the removal of the tourist visa application with Russia. She expressed that tourism studies are continuing within the framework of bilateral talks with Greece, and that every market to be opened from the Middle East, the Balkans, and neighboring countries is considered important for Alanya. She added to her words that she wishes to see the other 30 licensed facilities, out of the 260 ministry-licensed facilities in Alanya, as members, given that 230 of them are already ALTİD members.
Following ALTİD President Güner, District Governor Hulusi Doğan presented a gift on behalf of the ALTİD Board of Directors to Mauri Gardin, the Mayor of Rovaniemi, Finland—Alanya's sister city—due to the fact that 2011 will be celebrated as the year of Finland in Alanya.
