Wednesday, March 11, 2009
The Mayor of Bodrum Turkbuku town Halil Ibrahim kaynar announced that the town will build a new 600-yacht-capacity marina, which could boost tourism in the region.
Kaynar said that the marina will cost approximately $30 million and its construction will last for two years.
He commented: "Turkbuku is a popular place for many important names from the art, sport and business industries. The new marina will be built in European standards and when it is completed, the tour district will gain more importance," he said. The mayor added that the project, which will use the build-operate-transfer model, will also host a space for fishing boats and the marina project has strengthened the position of the on-going Urban Design Project.
Bodrum has already been pronounced as a tourism centre by the nation's Ministry of Culture and Tourism and it is hoped this new development will boost interest from holidaymakers. Gunduz Nalbantoglu, chairman of the Bodrum Chamber of Maritime Trade said that the Bodrum Peninsula already has three marinas working at full capacity. A fourth marina will be good for the district.
Commenting on Bodrum, the Sun newspaper said: "property prices have increased recently as the peninsula has realized its potential for tourism". The publication suggested that Bodrum peninsula could provide a lifetime investment, especially since it had the potential to be more lucrative than a purchase in the UK.
