At the fair, where 25 participants were located within the 450-square-meter area of the Türkiye stand, Ambassador Mehmet Samsar and Promotion Counselor Berat Yıldız visited the stands and chatted with the participants. In the fair, which was attended by large operators such as Pegas, Anex, Natalia tour, and Granada Hotel, it was stated during meetings with agencies that Ukraine ranks 6th among the countries sending the most tourists to Antalya and that a 10% increase is expected in 2013. At the event, where promotional materials on behalf of Alanya were distributed, information was also provided regarding the connecting flight ticket options offered by Pegasus airlines for Gazipaşa.
Although the Antalya region still holds 1st place in the holiday rankings, interest in other destinations has also increased thanks to the Turkish series being broadcast here. In the competition themed "The Happiest Picture in Türkiye" organized by the Kyiv Cultural and Promotional Attaché, there were shots taken at Topkapı Palace, in Trabzon Uzungöl, and at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye building.
The Turkey stand, which includes the Alanya stand, totals 450 square meters and hosted 25 participants.
On the first day of the fair, our Ambassador Mehmet Samsar and Promotion Counselor Berat Yıldız visited the stands one by one and chatted with the participants.
Major tour operators Pegas, Anex, and Natalia Tour conducted promotions at their own stands with the participation of hoteliers. Additionally, the stand of Granada Hotel from the Alanya region was once again one of the stands that drew attention.
In the meetings we held with agencies, they stated that Ukraine ranks 6th in the list of countries sending the most tourists to Antalya and that a 10% increase is expected within the year 2013.
According to what the people here have described, while everything was paralyzed due to a once-in-a-century snowstorm, the fact that this fair commenced immediately afterward and that agencies showed intense interest during the first 2 days despite this has made us tourism professionals happy.
Promotional materials on behalf of Alanya have been distributed, and information was also provided that they could purchase connecting tickets for Gazipaşa through Pegasus Airlines' flights here.
