The tourism master plan has been completed, and as a result of our visit last week to the Minister of Public Works and Transport, Mr. Erhan Ar\u0131kl\u0131, he stated that it would be brought before Parliament this week. This was a major step; bringing together all stakeholders of the country within the framework of an existing plan\u2014and treating it as a state policy\u2014carries even greater importance. Previously, we had also discussed this topic with the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Mr. Serhan Aktun\u00e7. <\/p>\n\n
The government and the opposition alike must take ownership of this tourism master plan. Regardless of who prepared it or who may benefit from it, the most important step for us is that our country benefits. <\/p>\n\n
The 2026\u20132035 plan is truly very detailed <\/strong><\/p>\n\n It is a plan that captures the country\u2019s snapshot as a destination. According to some stakeholders, even if you create the world\u2019s best plan, it means nothing unless it is put into practice. It is precisely for this reason that, following the updates made in 2011 to the \u201ctourism development plan,\u201d significant initiatives targeting the 2035 goals are included in this plan. However, as I have said, the plan must be brought onto the parliamentary agenda, and after both the opposition and the government read the entire plan and reach a consensus, it should be ensured that whoever comes to power is obliged to follow this plan to the letter. We, as trained and experienced human resources, must also take ownership of the plan and support the steps the country will take in this direction. As I always say, \u201cwhen it comes to national interests, we bow our heads without hesitation; the rest is just a story. Ego, jealousy, and envy should be left aside.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
