First Message from Tourism Professionals After Local Elections

BURTİD President Doğan Sager said, “As Turkey and Bursa, we have left behind another election. I hope the election results will be beneficial for Turkey, especially for Bursa.

"I congratulate the elected mayors, especially Mustafa Bozbey, who was elected as Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor," he said:

“First of all, I would like to thank everyone who went to the polls and cast their votes and who protected the future of our country and democracy. With local elections behind us, a 4-year period without elections is an important opportunity for our country and Bursa. As representatives of Bursa's tourism sector, there are many steps to be taken and much work to be done, especially towards the development of our city in tourism. As local governments, we should focus on tourism with all our strength in cooperation. Tourism means; It is one of the most valuable sectors that will promote Bursa globally as a brand and provide added economic value to our city. As the tourism sector, we believe that after this election in Bursa, the tourism development program should be focused on and the tourism master plan should be implemented.”

As the tourism sector in Bursa, our primary expectation is that Bursa Airport will provide incentives to foreign airline companies in order to attract more foreign tourists from Europe and the Middle East to our city. Supporting air transportation in tourism locally and in general is our most important priority. However, we should give more space to the promotion and marketing of Bursa abroad in the new period. We have beautiful tourism values ​​in 17 districts of Bursa. "In addition, it is of great importance to raise awareness of our society about tourism."
