Alanya economy shows strength in tourism and trade

Economic activity in Alanya, Turkey, shows positive trends in both the tourism and trade sectors. Cem Özcan, President of the Alanya Association of Tourism Operators (ALTİD), reported that August tourism performance surpassed June and July. Strong reservation rates for September and October suggest that the tourism season is extending into the autumn months.

In the commercial sector, the Alanya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ALTSO) has launched a Foreign Trade Intelligence and Export Support Office. This initiative aims to help local businesses access new markets and increase export capacity. Additionally, ALTSO noted the extension of the 3% foreign currency conversion support until January 2027, which benefits tourism and export-oriented firms.
