Bodrum the Region of Tourism<br />

12 months of tourism<br />

aim in Bodrum<br />

In the summer months, millions of tourists come from Turkey and<br />

abroad to Bodrum which is known as a tourism paradise with its<br />

magnificent nature and unique bays and beaches. It is aimed to<br />

spread the tourism mobility to 12 months with the national and<br />

international sports events organized in winter in the district.<br />

Bodrum Hoteliers Association General Secretary Orhan Kavala<br />

said in his statement on the subject that many tourists from<br />

England, Netherlands, Russia, Belgium, France, and Germany came<br />

to the district last year. Kavala stated that they will attend various<br />

fairs in abroad in the year 2019; ''We participated in fairs in Italy,<br />

France and England. The developments for the newyear seem<br />

pretty good. In the long view, there are fairs in Holland, Berlin and<br />

Moscow. These are very large fairs.''<br />

CHEAP VACATION OPPORTUNITY<br />

Orhan Kavala indicated that Turkey become a popular country for<br />

foreign people and said: "The services we offer are much better<br />

than the rival countries. We have more potential, and we also offer<br />

cheap holiday opportunity. It is extraordinary that this service is<br />

provided in return for small amount of money. One of the factors<br />

that increase these numbers is the prices. The earnings of the rival<br />

countries for their services is more than ours.<br />

NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL<br />

ACTIVITIES IN WINTER MONTHS<br />

During the winter months, sailing races are also held in our<br />

district. Some of these races are national, some of them are<br />

international. This brings intense dynamism to Bodrum. There<br />

can be thousands of people participating in these competitions.<br />

Sporters participating in sailing races reach a serious number.<br />

This is a serious contribution to the Bodrum hotel sector. The areas<br />

in which competitions will be held are rich in Bodrum and they<br />

have a lot of options. As the numbers increase in an international<br />

area, Bodrum will begin to advertise its popularity all over Europe<br />

and the world."<br />
