Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ALTSO) President Eray Erdem and the accompanying ALTSO Delegation continue their contacts without slowing down within the scope of the KOSGEB supported business trip to Germany.
President Erdem and the delegation visited the Turkish Ambassador to Berlin Ahmet Başar Şen and the Turkish-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry and discussed what should be done for Alanya tourism.
The first stop of President Erdem and ALTSO delegation today was the Embassy of Türkiye in Berlin. The delegation met with Ambassador Ahmet Başar Şen and discussed the 2023 Tourism Season, Health Tourism and the work to be done for the German market.
President Erdem said the following about the Embassy visit: We evaluated the ITB Berlin Fair and discussed on our fair impressions with our Ambassador. We discussed with our Ambassador what we can do about the fact that the third age group tourists prefer Alanya more and regarding the disabled tourism, both the treatment in Alanya and the provision of a holiday. Moreover; In collaboration with our Berlin Embassy, we decided to carry out a joint work with our Ambassador to organize a program by inviting German journalists to Alanya and including German citizens residents in Alanya.
Following the visit to the Embassy, TD-IHK, the result of the protocol signed between the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) and the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), founded in 2003, President Erdem and ALTSO delegation visited the Turkish-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry and discussed with Secretary General Okan Özoğlu and Deputy Secretary General Nalan Yetim.
ALTSO BECAME A MEMBER OF TURKISH-GERMAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY AGAIN
President Erdem said: “We have learnt that relations with the Turkish-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, of which our Chamber was a member, were broken a long time ago and we have renewed our membership in order to rebuild stronger relations. In addition, I and my businessman friends Mustafa Kemal Kahya and Mesut Akkuş signed a protocol making our companies members of the Turkish-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I would like to emphasise that we find these memberships very important in terms of establishing stronger relations with Germany, Türkiye’s largest trading partner. From now on, we will continue to serve our Alanya under the umbrella of this strong organisation. We aim to continue and increase these and similar international cooperations. We think that we need to create more cooperation in the fields of tourism, agriculture and trade, especially with Germany, which has been our biggest partner country since history. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Secretary General Okan Özoğlu and Deputy Secretary General Nalan Yetim for sharing their thoughts and investment opportunities with us. With the belief that our Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry will resolutely carry out its duties in this strong structure from now on, I wish the protocol we signed to be beneficial and auspicious. As ALTSO, we will continue to do our best for the promotion of our Alanya in the coming period as we have done before.”
