2 Golf Courses (without accommodation) 18 hole golf course
2 Municipality daily facilities
TOTAL: 21.900 beds.
The first land allocation for tourist use was the designation of day-use created in
1986 in the Municipality of Serik. Tourist investment plan studies were started as
of this date. The process of granting permission for international tourism
investment began in 1987, followed by land allocations to investors based on a 49year
lease in 1989 by the Ministry of Tourism. Tourism facility construction
started in 1990. The calculated total bed capacity in Belek is 28.000, when
completed, Belek will account for 20% of all hotel beds of the Southern
Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
Hotel building regulations define a construction area of 30% within each lot, and a
maximum building height of 40 m at the highest point of the main building roof;
most of the hotels have a maximum height of 24 m.
The concentration of buildings on the beach is less intensive than in many other
tourist destinations.
The Turban holiday village, located near the Serik Municipality day-use area, has
been designated as one of the State properties slated to be allocated to the
investors.
Beach activities like sunbathing, ball games in the water, wind surfing sailing and
speed boats threatening the lives of adult turtles
The area behind the dune forest is private property and has been included in the
East Antalya Master Plan (1/25.000 scale) by the Ministry of Public Works and
Resettlement as being part of the municipalities small scale plans. Construction of
these summer and secondary homes began in 1990. By 1997 nearly 4000 homes
had been built in Belek. The physical and legal situation arising from such a
housing construction process, without any master plan and basic infrastructural
facilities is creating problems and seem impossible to deal with. Naturally the area
will demand as many services as a small city, such as transportation, health,
energy, sewage, markets and garbage collection.
There are two parcels that have been designated for day use by municipalities.
One area is located close the old Turban Holiday village and operated by the
Municipality of Serik. The second area has been allocated to the Municipality of
Kadriye.
All infrastructure to the tourism investment areas, including water, sewage
treatment, communications, and roads were provided by the Ministry of Tourism,
with Betuyab contributing 1/3 of the costs.
The investors organisation: Betuyab
Betuyab was formed with the support from the Ministry of Tourism. It obtained the
status of a shareholder corporation in 1990 with the goal of assisting the Ministry
of Tourism in funding and supervising the installation of requisite infrastructure
for tourism investments.
