“In the last period, with the ski center here, we keep it on the agenda with the High Altitude Center on its way to becoming the center of sports, not only for winter sports, but also for the fact that our hotels are full in the summer, and we ensure that our Erciyes benefit from it by preparing the ground for various activities. This beautiful value of Kayseri, Anatolia, Turkey's most handsome mountain, dressed in a white wedding dress awaits sports and ski lovers. I don't want our Kayseri to be mentioned in the context of tourism with just a ski resort, I want to share that it is a city that makes a name for itself in different areas with the richness of hosting different civilizations.”
Büyükkılıç also drew attention to the fact that Kayseri is the center of gastronomy and said, “We took our place in the Innovative Cities High School of UNESCO on a national basis. We can talk about works that have either entered the UNESCO list or been a candidate in dozens of our regions. Congratulations to those involved. I state that Kayseri, which is a center of attraction with its 1.5 million population, will always be remembered positively.”
