PRESIDENT YÜCEL: "ALTAV IS A SHARED VALUE OF ALANYA" Following the reading of the activity reports, Alanya Mayor and ALTAV Chairman Adem Murat Yücel spoke about the past period, stating, "Our foundation continues its work with great dedication to promote Alanya. ALTAV is one of the lifelines of Alanya tourism. Without expecting anything in return, it strives to raise the tourism standards of our city year after year, attending fairs abroad, working day and night to bring even one more tourist to Alanya. ALTAV is a shared value of Alanya." “OUR TOP PRIORITY IS 12-MONTH TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM” President Yücel, emphasizing that they are working tirelessly towards a 12-month tourism goal in Alanya, said: "To strengthen our foundation, which is the backbone of Alanya tourism, we have opened the doors of ALTAV to everyone. With the management model we established with representatives of all civil society organizations, we have achieved unity and solidarity for Alanya. We have worked hard together, using the shared values of Alanya. Especially after the airline crisis, we organized promotional campaigns targeting the domestic market. We worked to extend tourism to 12 months and to increase the income of small and large businesses that earn a living from tourism, along with our hoteliers. We maintained good dialogue and direct contact with tour operators and agencies." “WE HAVE LEFT BEHIND A BEAUTIFUL SEASON AS ALANYA” President Yücel stated, "We see that we are one of the best destinations in terms of promotion." He added: "Even though we criticize ourselves internally, we truly feel the difference when we attend fairs abroad. We had a good season this year, both in Antalya and in Alanya. I believe that Alanya tourism will progress to much better levels in the coming years. We will continue to work for Alanya, stand by our tourism colleagues, work in cooperation with them, and support them." PRESIDENT YÜCEL: "WE WANT TO BE THE BEST, NOT JUST ONE OF THE BEST" President Yücel said: "ALTİD is the biggest supporter of ALTAV in terms of both financial and other matters. Many of our institutions always support us. We also want more support. We thank those who have never left us alone. Because our goal is the same: to be the best at what we do, not just one of the best. This requires promotion and visionary projects." PRESIDENT YÜCEL: "WE WANT TO DOUBLE THE BUDGET" President Yücel concluded with the following statement: "Since we took office at ALTAV, we have worked hard to increase the budget. We have increased the budget of ALTAV tenfold in a three-year period, and our goal for the next period is to double the budget we have achieved. We will continue on our path, increasing year after year." After the speeches, voting began.
