Citizens stated that the interior of the new museum was beautifully designed and found the museum very informative. Opened by the Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy on March 13, the museum became the center of attention for visitors. Especially during the Ramadan Bayram holiday, citizens from many cities in Turkey visited the museum to examine the exhibited artifacts with great interest. The museum, which includes artifacts such as the Amisos Treasure, shown as the second most valuable treasure in Turkey after the Karun Treasure, and a skull with traces of brain surgery dating back 5,000 years, attracted the attention of people of all ages. Citizens expressed that they spent the holiday with their children at the museum, and among the exhibited artifacts, jewelry, belts, and other tools from the Bronze, Hittite, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, especially the Amisos Treasures and items found in excavations, were among the most captivating. From 20,000 visitors in 1 year to 50,000 visitors in 1 month While the Samsun Archaeology and Ethnography Museum, closed in 2016, was visited by 20,000 people in a year, the New Samsun Museum was visited by 50,000 visitors in just 1 month, and approximately 15,000 people during the holiday period.

The number of tourists coming to Antalya exceeded 15 million

Ersoy, who was in the city for the Antalya Cultural Road Festival, told the AA correspondent that according to 9-month data, a figure of 42 billion dollars was reached in tourism across Turkey, and progress was made towards the income target of 55.6 billion dollars for the end of the year. "Reminding us that events such as the earthquakes on February 6 and Israel's attack on Palestine occurred after this target was announced, Ersoy said, 'Although we have experienced many negative effects one after another, we are managing the medium-term program appropriately. In this respect, it is pleasing. When we consider Antalya overall, the number of visitors exceeded 15 million as of yesterday. Both income and the number of tourists are higher than in 2019 when tourism was at its peak before the pandemic.' This is very pleasing." Reminding that they set a qualified transition target regarding tourism in 2018, Ersoy said that the figures show that this target is being progressed with firm steps. Pointing out that there has been a significant increase in tourism revenues, Ersoy said, "Night spending per person, which was 67 dollars at the end of 2017, reached 100 dollars when we look at the figures announced last year. This shows that the process is developing in accordance with our policies and strategies. "This makes us very happy." Stating that the sector is affected positively or negatively by every event, Ersoy noted that they have been struggling with many crises since he took office. Explaining that they encountered the Thomas Cook bankruptcy when he took office, and then the global epidemic, Ersoy emphasized that the Russia-Ukraine War, the earthquake that affected 11 provinces, and the election process took place. Pointing out that Turkey can be exposed to crises due to its geography, Ersoy said, "There were crises yesterday, there are crises today, there will be crises in the future. If we already know this reality, the important thing is to learn to live with this reality." "We have become the country with the most intense and effective promotion in the world" Reminding that they established the Turkey Tourism Promotion and Development Agency in 2019 in order to make the sector stronger, Ersoy shared the following: "The primary duty of the agency is to work together with the sector and the state to provide a quick solution to tourism-related problems, especially promotion. We manage this successfully. We are currently making intense and effective promotions in more than 200 countries. In a very short time, we became the country with the most intense and effective promotion in the world. We already see the results of this in the number of tourists and their income. Is the process completed? No, we still have a lot of work to do. We need to work much harder, because Turkey's tourism potential is invaluable. "Actually, we don't use all of them." Stating that they are working intensively to extend tourism to 12 months and include every city in tourism, Ersoy added that they are taking steady steps towards the goal.

Regarding the issue, Ersoy said, “We are making changes to law no. 1618. It's a law that's outdated. We have started detailed legal work on this. We also started to receive the opinions of relevant institutions. “We will send this to the Parliament as soon as possible and ensure that it becomes law.” Minister Ersoy responded to the question of whether the legal regulation in question was made based on the draft previously prepared with TÜRSAB or whether a study was carried out from scratch; “That draft was prepared by TÜRSAB and reflected only TÜRSAB's views. "We have prepared a new draft law, taking into account all the demands of the sector."
