Stating that Bodrum had a productive summer despite all the crises and adversities, BODER Secretary General and Bodrium Hotel & SPA General Manager Yiğit Girgin said that 2023 was much stronger.
Yiğit Girgin, stating that Bodrum and Turkish tourism have very high expectations from 2023, drew attention to the importance of being prepared for this.
Girgin said, “2023 looks very bright after 2022, which exceeded expectations. This brilliance frankly invites me to be cautious. Being cautious and cautious should be like a business plan, not a plan b. After the difficulties in the last period, a very precious 2022 has passed in terms of Bodrium, Bodrum, and Turkish tourism. I think that Turkish tourism has good prices and occupancy rates. There are still productive cities in our metropolitan cities such as Istanbul and Antalya, including the winter period. In line with the figures announced by our Minister, I think that 2023 will be a year that will increase the target of 50 million tourists and increase the income in parallel with this. I just want to draw attention to the importance of keeping our guard and precaution, and of keeping our feet firmly on the ground," he said.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE QUALITY
Stating that Turkey is a highly preferred region in 2023 due to its impact on investments made for tourism diversity and its understanding of quality service, Girgin said, “Turkish tourism still does not have a serious service rival. We are now a country that exports professionals to the world in terms of service. After the NPL, diversification in Turkish tourism increased. As a result, all the factors that this geography can offer, from sports tourism to gastronomy tourism, from historical tourism to the sea-sand-sun trio, where quality is combined with diversity, expanded on the table. There is no one producing the innovative work of Turkish tourism in the world. After all, Turkish tourism, which is at a good point in terms of diversity, is doing well.”
WE EXPECT DENSITY FOR EARLY BOOKINGS
Emphasizing that it would be beneficial to make decisions about the holiday plans for 2023 a little earlier, Yiğit Girgin said, “We expect a very serious intensity regarding reservations. At the moment, the works in the hotels are directed towards this. Especially in the British markets, the central European market and the Russian market. If we talk about Bodrum specifically, there are serious preparations. It is useful to say that; The sooner the domestic tourist, who has made a holiday planning during the early booking process, makes a purchase, the more advantageous it will be. I think it will be advantageous in terms of price and finding a place. Because Bodrum's bed capacity is not at a level where everything can be found at any time. Especially in the period from June 15 to September, a very serious increase is expected after the schools are closed. Between September 15-November and May-June 15, it is a period of beautiful and pleasant moments in Bodrum. You can choose a more comfortable place and there are price advantages. It would be much more accurate for those who are considering a holiday in the high season to plan in the early booking period.
