YATED President was a Guest on Bloomberg HT

YATED Chairman Murat Bekiroğlu was a guest on the Business World program broadcast on Bloomberght on Monday, July 1, via Skype. Bekiroğlu made an evaluation after the announcement of 2023 yacht statistics; He stated that we are facing a serious crisis in boat tourism. He explained that there was a serious decrease in occupancy rates due to the stability of Euro prices, the problem of boat mooring places and the high rate of mooring prices. In the program, when asked why foreign yachtsmen do not come to Turkey, he said: “In Port Hercules in Monoca, the most expensive marina in Europe, a 42-meter boat pays 650 Euros for a 1-night stay in the high season, while this figure is 350 Euros in the low season. When the same yacht comes to the shores of Göcek, it pays a minimum of 1200-1300 Euros. In Spain, while you pay a monthly accommodation fee of 2500 Euros in Port Vell, this figure is between 24-26 thousand Euros when it comes to our southern coasts. “As such, foreign yachtsmen do not want to come to Turkey.” He made a striking statement by responding.
