Antalya Sets Its Sights on Becoming the Caravan Capital of Tourism!
At the JOJO CaravanPort Antalya Fair, Antalya Governor Hulusi Şahin shared an ambitious vision: to make Antalya the #1 destination for caravan tourism in Turkey – and potentially the world. With its stunning natural landscape of mountains, forests, and coastline, Antalya is uniquely positioned for this rising travel trend.
Why Caravan Tourism?
“Caravan travel has long been popular in Europe and the U.S., but it’s just beginning to take off in Turkey,” said Governor Şahin. “With the right infrastructure, this eco-friendly tourism model can thrive without harming our precious nature.”
Key Priorities:
Expand caravan-friendly infrastructure
Build more designated caravan parks
Collaborate with municipalities for sustainable tourism
Preserve nature while welcoming more travelers
Turkey’s Edge in Manufacturing:
“We’ve already proven ourselves in yacht production,” Şahin added. “Now it’s time to bring that success to the caravan industry. We have the talent, technology, and demand—now we just need to scale.”
Final thoughts? “This isn’t just a travel trend—it’s a chance to lead in a growing global market and offer unforgettable experiences in one of the world’s most beautiful regions.”
