Members of çalış Tourism and Promotion Association visited Saatcı and voiced the problems of çalış
Çalış, one of our touristic centers, was analyzed at a pre- 2008 summer season meeting. At the meeting, especially concerned with the Çalış coast and the hotels in Çalış, it was emphasized that the building plan for Çalış must be changed, and the Boutique Hotel concept, meaning the consolidation of already existing hotels, must be considered. Chairman of the Çalış Tourism and Promotion Association, Mr. Hasan Şimşek, pointed out that they were visiting Mayor Saatçi for everything he had done to improve and develop, during the speech he gave on behalf of the association. Saatçi declared that the Bedesten market would again be closed to traffic during the summer, and promised financial aid to all activities for the benefit of Çalış. At the meeting also attended by Çalış business owners, Fethiye Mayor Behçet Saatçi, saying that it was necessary for everybody to unite and work together, declared, ’If Çalış has the wind at its back, it will become a famous sea resort like Ölüdeniz. To this end, the first thing to be done is to change Çalış’s building plans. You decide and prepare whatever is necessary, and we will support it as the council. Çalış is the apple of our eye, it is our duty to keep it alive and to carry it to the position it deserves. I will talk to my managers as soon as possible about your ideas, and we will share whatever we can do with you. Thank you for your visit.”
