ALTİD Chairman Burhan Sili stated that hotel occupancy rates would begin with the holiday, and that the 9-day holiday would be a breath of fresh air for the sector.
Burhan Sili, a member of the Board of Directors of the Türkiye Otelciler Federasyonu (TÜROFED) and the President of the Alanya Turistik İşletmeciler Derneği (ALTİD), stated that the extension of the Eid al-Adha holiday to 9 days is a positive decision, both for allowing citizens to enjoy their holidays and for revitalizing the tourism sector. Sili said, "The extension of the holiday is a great opportunity for the tourism sector. It appears that the occupancy rates of our hotels will begin during the holiday period. We are preparing to meet this demand and, together with all our stakeholders, to warmly welcome both domestic and foreign guests to our city."
