Mayor Doğan: “Samsun Will Also Stand Out with Water Sports”
Samsun Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Halit Doğan stated that this festival would suit Samsun, which reflects every aspect of water in the best way possible, and said, “Samsun is a seaside city, a beautiful city that reflects every aspect of water. Samsun is also a sports city. We organized this festival thinking that a water sports festival would suit Samsun the best in this regard. We continue our work with the understanding that tourism and sports in Samsun need to develop in many ways. This festival emerged as a reflection of this. This festival will bring together nature lovers, sports enthusiasts and tourism enthusiasts. We believe that when people say Samsun, water sports will also come to mind, and Samsun will become a prominent and shining city in this respect.” With this great organization, Samsun will make a name for itself not only with its historical and cultural riches, but also with its potential in the field of water sports.
