Member of :
Mr. Oktay Varlier, Chairman, Turkish Tourism Investors Association, to deliver presentation at the 2003 European GOLF Investment and Real Estate Conference
Wednesday, June 18, 2003
September 24th, 2003 -- Mr. Oktay
Varlier, Chairman, Turkish Tourism Investors
Association (TYD),
will deliver a presentation titled 'Prospects for Turkish Tourism in the
Near Future' to a distinguished audience at the 2003
European GOLF
Investment and Real Estate Conference & Exhibition in Athens on
November 29th, 2003.
Turkish
parliament recently passed a new law for the purpose of encouraging large
tourism infrastructure investments, among them golf being the primary area
of interest.
Mr.
Varlier will attempt to draw attention on the untouched opportunities in
Turkey in view of this -- legally and economically -- very positive
environment.
Commenting
on this important pan-European industry event, Oktay says: In recent years, as golf courses with international standards have been put into use,
Turkey is on the way of becoming a renown golf centre where players from around the world can meet in an environment full of
cultural, historical and natural beauties. This conference in Athens is
organised in such a time that exactly matches the new wave of investments which we expect to start, while new laws and regulations put into force in Turkey, which envisage so-called
'new tourism cities' around the coastal regions, i.e. very large pieces of land with all infrastructure completed, will be allocated to tourism investors who will
build necessary facilities including golf courses and integrated leisure resorts. From our side, there couldn't be
a better time."
