Our 1,200 affiliated agencies have a market share that amounts to $60 billion. Why should Bodrum and Turkey not get its share? I know a number of gay celebrities who are living in Bodrum. "Gays and lesbians around the world are fed up with going to Paris, Hawaii, London and Mykonos.
Our current aim is to launch preparations for making Bodrum the new destination for gay and lesbian travelers," said Kytka, and noted the conditions Bodrum provides are quite positive. About 400 people attended the symposium that was held at the Hotel Bodrium. Chairman ofthe Der-Tur Travel Agency Mustafa Kartopu, who is also Turkey's representative to IGLTA, and Attache Travel and Tourism Agency representative Harun Karadeniz, who is responsible for organizing the event, attended the symposium.
According to Kytka, Bodrum could rival Mykonos, Greece, a popular holiday destination. "With its culture, history and bays, Bodrum is the Mykonos of the future for gay people. We will do our utmost to advertise Bodrum," Kytka said. |
