Making a statement after the visit, İyi Party Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Candidate Kazım Yücel said, “Today, our Provincial Mayor Mr. Together with Tansu Şener and our provincial administration, we held a meeting with the members of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB) on our city and its tourism. Erciyes Regional Representative Board Chairman Mr. “I would like to thank Ali Emre Mart and his management for their hospitality.” said.
Reminding that they exchanged ideas during the visit, Yücel said, “Unfortunately, our Kayseri cannot market its tourism values well. Our existing values should be highlighted and attract tourists. 4 million tourists come to Cappadocia, which is right next to us, every year. Even tourists who come to Antalya do not leave without seeing Cappadocia through tours. But for some reason, tourists who land at Kayseri Airport and go to Cappadocia never visit Kayseri. Tourists visiting Cappadocia come by bus and get on a plane from the airport and return. They are not curious about this city at all. City administrators have a big responsibility here. There must be cooperation with tourism agencies.
At least 15 percent of those tourists should stay in Kayseri, visit Kayseri, and see Kayseri's tourism values. Look, we have Erciye. We thank you for the investments made, we can criticize the method, but it has been done now. From now on, our duty is to make intense efforts to attract tourists here. As soon as we take office, tourists coming to Cappadocia will not leave without seeing Erciyes. He will not leave without seeing Turkey's second largest covered bazaar. He will definitely see Kapuzbaşı Waterfalls. He will definitely stay in the boutique hotels to be established in Soğanlı Valley. Sultan Marshes will be flooded with visitors. Hörmetçi Marshes, famous for its horses and mosques, will be flooded with tourists. Hacer Forests, Kuşçu Dam Lake, Germir, Gesi, Koramaz Valley, Kızılırmak and Zamantı River will be opened to tourism. Look, Kızılırmak is flowing by, there isn't even a facility on it. He made use of Avanos Kızılırmak so beautifully right after us that it is worth seeing. Kayseri, on the other hand, is still content with watching the flow of water. Bayramhaci also stands empty. Kayseri has so many tourism values that they will gain value with us. Kayseri will be flooded with tourists. Not long now. As of April 1, Kayseri will get what it deserves in the field of tourism, as in every field. "Our squares will be filled with tourists. Those who get off the plane will not go directly to Cappadocia." he said.
