Speaking to reporters in Antalya on Monday at ceremony marking the start of the tourist season, Kamer Holding CEO Özer Sevencan said prices would be reduced from the current 86 euros to 23 euros. “We expect to offer alternative holiday options to our customers. The current crisis has urged people to seek cheaper vacation options,” he said.

Sevencan said a company from Konya had already booked rooms for 400 employees for a vacation during Ramadan. “This promotion attracted a great deal of attention as soon as we introduced it,” he said. He also said they had seen a 20 percent increase in sales so far this year compared to last year and that 1,200 customers have booked rooms since the start of the year. He noted that people had not given up their vacation habits. Sevencan said 20 percent of their customers came from abroad, particularly Turks and Muslims living in Europe. He said the company planned to expand its tourism and alternative tourism business and that they were constructing a new facility in Afyon, in Turkey's Aegean region, an area renowned for its abundance of thermal springs.

A vacation village on a 167,000-square-meter piece of land in Antalya's Kumluca district, Şah Inn Paradise opened in 2007. There are 404 rooms in the village, which has a 1,400-bed capacity. It also boasts a 400-meter private beach for the exclusive use of its guests. The complex also features a fitness center, a sunbathing deck, massage rooms, a beauty salon, saunas and a Turkish bath, along with a shopping mall, a children's playground and various other recreational facilities.
