Tourism professionals in Çeşme started to wait for the holiday, which they hoped to be active.
Although the weather caused a stagnation in early bookings, the arrival of hot summer days, the closure of schools on 16 June and the increase the Eid al-Adha holiday to 9 days made tourism professionals happy, while the increase in reservations indicated that Çeşme will be full again during the holiday break.
After the 'Welcome to Summer' cocktail organized by the Çeşme Touristic Hoteliers Association (ÇESTOB), the tourism professionals from Çeşme, who finished their preparations for the season, began to wait for the holiday, which they hoped to be active.
Stating that a nice summer holiday awaits local and foreign tourists in Çeşme this season, ÇEŞTOB President Yakup Demir said, "Our holiday occupancy rates are very good. It has reached 70-80%. Election, weather and economic conditions have cast some shadows on early bookings and there is a decline, but we are looking forward to our last minute sales. Çeşme reached 80-90% occupancy in the season even on the worst days.
"We are waiting for our guests for a nice holiday"
Gökçe Kesikçiler Buğday, Member of the Board of Directors of ÇESTOB, stated that they, as tourism professionals and hoteliers, are waiting for the season to open in Çeşme; “Now the good days will come. We hope to have a nice holiday with the unification of the holiday after the closing of the schools. In Çeşme, there will be intense activity in the domestic market. We will also be waiting for our guests from Germany, Italy and France. I think reservations will reach 80-90 percent until the holiday. We are waiting for our guests for a nice holiday."
"We will have the summer that we have been waiting for and miss, together with the holiday"
Ebru Biner Tuğgan, Member of the Board of Directors of ÇESTOB, also made a statement and said, "We observe that the reservations have increased due to the holiday holiday that coincided with the last week of the month. The expectations of tourism professionals for the post-election period were very high. There was a stagnation in our reservations with the election. However, we have observed a very serious increase in our reservations for the last 10 days. "The fountain will be lively again during the holiday. We will have the summer that we expect and miss, together with the holiday."
