Fethiye at WTM London 2025!

The Fethiye booth at the WTM London 2025 Tourism Fair, held in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, drew intense interest not only from visitors but also from numerous diplomatic representatives. While Fethiye’s tourism potential was strongly promoted on the international stage during the fair, Fethiye Mayor Alim Karaca also made important statements regarding tourism in the region.

Mayor Karaca highlighted the importance of Fethiye in the UK market, stating:

“We are in the country that generates the greatest added value for Fethiye. Our Ambassador is visiting us and offering his support this year, just as he did last year. We have secured important advertising and promotional agreements in London and across the UK. Starting in January, we will carry out comprehensive efforts in this region to promote Fethiye. Under the leadership of our Ambassador and with their approval, we will be featured in the region’s largest travel magazines, on buses, and across 260 subway lines. We will ensure that hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people see Fethiye. We will carry out this promotional campaign together under the leadership of the Fethiye Municipality, in collaboration with our chambers of commerce and the Metropolitan Municipality.”

Noting that Fethiye’s tourism sector closed this year with a 2% growth rate, Karaca stated that their goal is to increase this figure even further by 2026:

“We’re here to take this success to even greater heights next year. We’re participating in the fair alongside all our chambers, tourism partners, and regional mayors. Each is making a concerted effort to promote their own destination. We in Fethiye are also working with our team to secure the best possible share of this market. Over the course of three days, we will hold various meetings; we will visit the region’s largest television stations, newspapers, and radio stations. We will also visit the regional parliament to showcase Fethiye’s beauty to the British public.”
