Russian Tourists Welcome in Alanya as Turkey Shifts Attitude

Mikhail Maltsov, head of the Ural Tourism Association, has praised the positive shift in attitude towards Russian tourists in Turkey, particularly in Alanya. He credits this change to the efforts of professionals and common sense within the business community.

Maltsov expressed confidence that Alanya will continue to create comfortable conditions for Russian tourists. He urged local authorities to further improve these conditions.

Maltsov also highlighted the negative impact of offensive inscriptions against Russians in Georgia on its tourist appeal. He emphasized the importance of preventing such sentiments towards Russian tourists in other countries.

The hotel industry in Alanya is currently focusing on Russian tourists due to economic interests. Maltsov met with the responsible leader of the hotel industry in Alanya to discuss this further, although the name of this leader is not publicly available.

Maltsov noted that short-term trends in supporting countries quickly fade without economic backing. He believes that the changes in Turkish resorts are due to the work of professionals and a growing fatigue from politicized agendas.

Maltsov's visit to Alanya reflects the growing importance of Russian tourists to the Turkish tourism industry. With the support of local authorities and the hotel industry, Alanya is committed to creating a welcoming environment for Russian tourists. Maltsov's call for prevention of negative sentiments towards Russian tourists underscores the need for a balanced approach that prioritizes economic interests and mutual respect.
