QTerminals Antalya, one of Türkiye's leading commercial cargo and cruise ports, hosted a delegation from Qatar to exchange knowledge and experiences related to cruise tourism, a vital component of the global tourism industry. The Qatari delegation, consisting of customs officials, representatives from the Qatar Tourism Office, the Qatar Ministry of Interior, and Doha Port authorities, visited QTerminals Antalya Port and engaged in discussions primarily centered around cruise tourism.
QTerminals Antalya, known for its prominence in commercial cargo and cruise port operations, warmly welcomed the Qatari delegation. Representatives from QTerminals Antalya and the visiting Qatari delegation shared insights into the ever-evolving features of cruise tourism and discussed critical points to consider. The delegation also conducted in-depth examinations of two significant cruise ships, Seabourn Encore and Spirit Of Discovery, to gain a detailed understanding of cruise tourism.
"We are among the key players in cruise tourism," stated Özgür Sert, General Manager of QTerminals Antalya Port. "We are delighted to host the Qatari delegation, comprising customs officials, representatives from the Qatar Tourism Office, the Qatar Ministry of Interior, and Doha Port authorities, at QTerminals Antalya Port. With our necessary infrastructure, large and modern terminals, and ample capacity, we hold a prominent position in our industry. While Doha Port has become an attractive destination for visitors on the shores of the Arabian Gulf today, it is also an important port for passenger ships. We engaged in mutual knowledge sharing regarding cruise tourism with our guests from Qatar, who represent a new attraction for cruise tourism. In the upcoming period, we will also visit Doha Port. We believe that the interaction between these two ports will have a highly positive impact on the development of the industry. Inter-company 'know-how' transfer is indispensable for gaining and sustaining a competitive advantage in today's world. Utilizing this valuable source of information effectively is essential for growth in the industry. Today, Antalya Port proudly holds a place on the map of the maritime and tourism world. We believe that QTerminals Antalya, positioned prominently in the sector, will set more examples for the world and we are working toward that goal."
