Poland's Choice Alanya

Alanya was introduced at the ITTF Warsaw Tourism Fair held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, between 16-18 March. Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation Board Member Elvan Gunes said, “The absence of visa and passport requirements when entering Turkey from Poland plays an important role in making the citizens of this country prefer our country more.” Gunes, who had important meetings, received information about the number of reservations and flight planning and made a general assessment:

"THEY CAN COME TO OUR COUNTRY WITH ID CARD"

As Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation, we participated in the tourism fair held in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Poland; After Russia, Germany and England, it ranked 4th among the countries sending the most tourists to Antalya with 757 thousand people in 2022. In Poland, which has a population of 38 million, approximately 5 million people go on vacation every year. In 2022, the number of arrivals from Poland to Turkey was 1 million 136 thousand. Out of this number, 850 thousand people came to visit our country by purchasing package tours from the agency. When we look at it numerically, it is a very important market for our country and region in terms of the share we receive. The fact that passports and visas are not required at the entrance and being able to travel with an identity card have been an important factor in the increase in the number of visitors.

'CORAL TRAVEL RECEIVES 40 PERCENT EARLY RESERVATIONS'

During our meeting with Kaan Ergün, CEO of Coral Travel, which carried out 53 percent of the operation in Poland, they brought 340 thousand people in the season that started late last year but later recovered, their planning is around 440 thousand this year, and this number is higher as long as the demand increases. He said that they could leave, that they were planning flights from 5 cities in Poland, and that they would not have any problems with additional aircraft. He said that they had received 40 percent early reservations so far, but they had a pause due to the earthquake, and they predicted that the reservations would return to normal after a while.

'ALANYA HAS BEEN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN'

A total of 7 participants took part in the stand of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey. As Kusadası, Marmaris, Corendon, Villa Tema Park Istanbul, Turkish Airlines, Baialara Hotel and Alanya from Antalya Belek region, we have made the promotion of the Mediterranean region alone. Poles love to go on vacation, especially on cultural trips. It is not difficult for Turkey to reach 2 million in the coming years.”
