Turkish municipalities are engaging in property leasing through public tenders. In İzmir, Çeşme Municipality is auctioning a five-year lease for an 18-room boutique hotel near Alaçatı Port, with an estimated first-year rental of 8 million TL. Meanwhile, Çubuk Municipality is seeking a seven-year lease for a complex containing a swimming pool, hammam, and sauna.

Broadly, the Turkish tourism sector is experiencing a shift toward alternative accommodation models. This includes a rise in short-term rentals in regions like Bursa, though these face regulatory requirements such as mandatory reporting to the police via the Identity Notification System (KBS) to avoid fines. Additionally, luxury glamping is emerging as a significant investment area, with facilities offering high-end amenities in natural settings to help extend the tourist season.
