Korhan Bilgin, President of Izmir Cruise and Sea Tourism Association, said that the ships coming to Izmir will bring 30 thousand passengers; “We cannot speak so precisely for Kuşadası Port because October is already one of the busiest months for Kuşadası Port. "2-3 ships arrive almost every day, so the port is full according to its capacity." Stating that some companies working in these ports may become a habit in the coming years, Bilgin said, “Not many ships go to the Eastern Mediterranean region.
