FESTIVALS HAVE AN IMPORTANT PLACE IN COUNTRIES' TOURISM STRATEGIES

OFFERS CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN WHILE HAVING FUN
Stating that locally determined and traditional festivals, which are symbolized by the region in which they are held, refresh the collective memory of the society and create positive effects in terms of tourism, Savaşan said that the İncirli Festival for children brought an important movement to the region and that the event created an opportunity for children to learn while having fun.
ALTERNATIVE TYPES INCLUDING FESTIVAL TOURISM SHOULD BE DEVELOPED
Underlining that the breakthroughs to be made in tourism can be realized through diversification in tourism types, Savaşan emphasized that there is a great competition in the field of tourism today, and that countries that offer more and higher quality products stand out in this competition.
Stating that a structure that is squeezed into a narrow area or type of tourism cannot meet the demands of the tourist profile, which is constantly diversifying and in search of new things, Savaşan emphasized that with the development of alternative tourism types, including festival tourism, continuity will be achieved in our country's tourism and revenues per tourist will increase.
