The Allegation of ‘Horse Tour in the Sea’ in Alanya Does Not Reflect the Truth

In recent days, it has been learned that the news about the ‘horse tour in the sea’, which is claimed to be organised by a tour company in Alanya, does not reflect the truth, that such a tour is definitely not organised in Alanya region, and that there is no such activity in the region in any way in the research and investigations carried out by TURSAB Alanya BTK officials.

Alanya Tourism Promotion Foundation (ALTAV) Press Spokesman Alper Gencelli said in a statement on the subject, ‘As a result of the investigations carried out by the officials of the TURSAB Alanya Regional Representative Board (BTK), it has been conclusively determined that there is no such tour organisation in our region. It is thought that such misleading news is one of the attempts to damage Alanya’s tourism image. In Alanya, a nature-friendly tourism approach that respects animal rights has been adopted and such activities are not allowed.’

In addition, Gencelli reminded that Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik again demonstrated his sensitivity on this issue by terminating camel breeding activities last week and underlined that no tourism activity that could harm animals is not allowed in Alanya.
