Tourism professionals from Bodrum came together with the organization of Samis Paizanoğlu, the promotion authority of Leros tourism island, who is well known to the people of Bodrum, and exchanged views. Following the briefing given to the officials of the travel agencies by Aris Markou, General Manager of Koia Hotel Wellbeing Resort, a plaque of appreciation was presented to TÜRSAB Bodrum Regional Representation Board Chairman Mustafa Demir and BODER President Ömer Faruk Dengiz for their support to Kos tourism.

Chairman of TÜRSAB Bodrum Regional Representative Board, Demir: “We have a project to depart flights from three capitals of Europe…”

Mustafa Demir, Chairman of the TÜRSAB Bodrum Regional Representation Board, emphasized that Turkish and Greek friendship is very important in tourism and he said that the two countries are developing together and experiencing an economic crisis together.

Mustafa Demir; “We, both sides of the Aegean, develop together and go down together. We have a project to depart flights from three capitals of Europe during the winter months between November 15, 2025 and March 15, 2026. Another partner of this project will be Kos. Because in many parts of the world there are twin center – two destination options in one holiday. So it means; During a holiday period, you stay somewhere for four days, you stay somewhere for three days. Then the groups change. They stay three days in the prior four-day stay destination and three days in the three-day stay destination. As you know, we sell daily trips to Kos Island to tourists who come to Bodrum in summer. In this way, they have a holiday in two countries, two different cities, and two different destinations in one holiday. Here we present this system that ‘holidays in two countries, two continents, two cultures, two different religious destinations in one holiday’ can be made abroad. This will both contribute to us, this will make an even greater contribution to Kos. Because there is an acceleration in the marketing of Turkey and Bodrum. We are engaged in very important marketing activities abroad with the support of TGA-Turkey Tourism Promotion and Development Agency. Kos will also benefit from our this marketing efforts so the system of “win win” will create a synergy…”

Mustafa Demir, Chairman of the TÜRSAB Bodrum Regional Representation Board, said that; “The language of tourism is the language of friendship and he underlined twice that the language of tourism is the language of friendship and brotherhood. Because people are afraid of what they have not seen, what they do not know, what they have not tasted. In fact, there are very good relationship between us and our Greek colleagues. We are traders and we have nothing to do with politics. We are just trying to get business. This project is a project that we will develop together, and we also support such a project as TÜRSAB…” he said.

BODER President Dengiz; “We are in contact with the Kos Hoteliers Association…”

BODER President Ömer Faruk Dengiz stated that relations with Kos will continue even more intensively and said; “Our such meetings will not happen once. We have scheduled four meetings for now, but there will be even more. We will continue such meetings not only with Greece, but also with other countries. On the other hand, we are in contact with the Kos Hoteliers Association. We discuss and consult these issues. We are confident about the future. As a result, we want a sustainable tourism approach…”

Theofilos Epsimos; “The spending potential of Turkish guests is very high…”

Theofilos Epsimos, the owner of Kos Koia Resort Hotel, also stated that it was a very productive meeting and that he was very happy to get together with Bodrum Travel Agencies and explained the purpose of his coming here with the following words; “We met with travel agencies, operating in Bodrum. We are introducing our hotel. Because Turkish guests are so much valuable for Kos. The spending potential of Turkish guests is also very high. Both coasts are culturally merced with each other.For this reason, we wanted to introduce our hotel especially to our Turkish guests…” Theophilos Epsimos; “We are like brothers and sisters…” Based on the fact that good relations between Turkish and Greek tourism professionals contribute significantly to Turkish-Greek friendship and peace, we asked the owner of Kos Koia Resort Hotel, Theofilos Epsimos, for his opinions on this issue; “Actually, we are family. We are like brother and sister. I believe that tourism and our mutual trade will carry these family relationships much higher…” he said.
