Ziraat Bankası Alanya Branch Manager Abdullah Torun and Entrepreneurial Customer Relations Officer Yasemin Zorlu also attended the meeting, where agenda items were discussed, and provided information regarding credit products as well as special banking products prepared for the tourism sector.
“THERE IS A 7-YEAR MATURITY INVESTMENT LOAN”
Emphasizing the importance of the “Tourism Support Package” prepared for tourism and sectors working in cooperation with tourism, Torun mentioned the credit products needed by the sector, which is preparing for the 2015 season, in terms of renovation and investment, stating, “While the sector's investment loans are being supported, we also provide short, medium, and long-term working capital loans. Investment loans were prepared in line with the needs of the sector as ‘New investment’ and ‘Renovation loans.’ The Tourism Support Package, which includes flexible maturity, grace periods, and suitable interest options, is an important opportunity for the entire sector. During our visit, we provided information to our tourism professionals under the headings of ‘Season-payment Working Capital Loan,’ ‘Investment loans with a maximum of two years grace period and a 7-year maturity that finance new investments and renovated facilities,’ ‘Flexible maturity,’ and ‘Grace period.’”
“IT WILL FIND ITS CORRESPONDENCE IN THE SECTOR”
Sili, a member of the Board of Directors of the Turkish Hotel Association (TÜROFED) and President of ALTİD, who stated that they have made requests to banks to offer special advantages to tourism non-governmental organizations, said, “Our tourism professionals are preparing for investment and renovation works for the upcoming season. In this sense, the opportunities that our banks will create hold a very important place in terms of raising tourism quality. The advantages offered by Ziraat Bankası will certainly find their counterpart in the tourism sector.”
