ntalya, one of the top-ranking cities in
Turkey in terms of tourism and agri-
culture, has been developing new projects
in a bid to become a leading city also in
terms of industry, culture-arts and environ-
mental protection. Wishing that industry
be integrated into its economy which is
dependent totally on tourism and agri-
culture, Antalya expects considerable im-
provement particularly to its poor logistics
infrastructure to that end. Business people
in the city say, “Integrating the manufac-
turing industry into the city’s economy,
which is dependent totally on tourism and
agriculture, can play an important role in
minimizing damage to the city’s economy
in case of any serious problem affecting
both tourism and agriculture.”
