The number of passengers arriving at the port with these cruises throughout the season was 30,641. Making evaluations in his statement, Özgür Sert, General Manager of QTerminals Antalya, stated that the port plays a very important role in terms of domestic and foreign tourism in the Mediterranean with its high capacity. Stating that they hosted 1413 passengers who came with 4 voyages last year due to the pandemic, Sert said that 26 voyages were made to the port this year. Emphasizing that they are more hopeful for the next season, Sert said, "We expect more density in Antalya Port next year. We have already received many reservations for the 2023 cruise season. Tourists coming to our port with these ships also make Antalya tradesmen happy. In this respect, the city is a port. We expect our contribution to its economy to continue to increase in the next year. As QTerminals Antalya, we will continue to increase our contribution to tourism, the driving force of our city's economy." (turizmajansi.com)
