Burhan Sili, Chairman of the Alanya Tourism Operators Association, said, "We highlighted the advantages of Gazipaşa Alanya Airport. We demonstrated the conveniences and potential that our city offers to the tourism sector."
The International Eastern Mediterranean Tourism Fair (EMITT), one of the world's five largest tourism fairs, concluded in Istanbul after four days. Burhan Sili, a member of the Board of Directors of the Türkiye Turizm Tanıtım ve Geliştirme Ajansı (TGA) and the Türkiye Otelciler Federasyonu (TÜROFED), and the President of the Alanya Turistik İşletmeciler Derneği (ALTİD), stated that they held important meetings with representatives from both domestic and international organizations, as well as with travel agencies and tour operators. "On the first day of the fair, which was the protocol day, we had meetings and visits with our Alanya Mayor, Mr. Adem Murat Yücel. We established contacts with airlines, agencies, and tour operators. As always, we highlighted the advantages of Gazipaşa Alanya Airport (GZP). We shared the conveniences that our city provides to the tourism sector with the authorities."
Stating that the four-day fair was open to the public for the last two days, and that Istanbul residents and people of various nationalities living in Istanbul showed great interest in the Alanya stand, President Sili said, "We always emphasize the importance of the domestic market. The potential of the domestic market is well known; countries like ours that operate in the tourism sector must have a certain level of infrastructure, at least 20 percent." He added, "The domestic market is the most important market that allows us to stay afloat during the difficult times of the tourism sector."
'PROMOTION EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.'
Sili emphasized that Alanya possesses significant potential both domestically and internationally, due to its capacity in terms of accommodation and permanent residency, which has developed over the years. He stated that in order to ensure the sustainability of this potential, they will continue promotion efforts for Alanya throughout the year, in all areas.
