Why Do You Need to Buy a House in 2022?

The marina sector shows significant growth potential both in the world and in our country. In recent years, yacht tourism stands out in world tourism thanks to tourists who have shown great demand for yachting activities. It is the basis of the infrastructure including marinas, hospitality businesses, food and beverage businesses that are needed for the realization of yacht tourism activities. The demand for yacht tourism is increasing due to reasons such as the feeling of freedom in individuals, the desire for adventure and exploration, and the desire to be close to nature and history. In our country, Istanbul is considered as an important destination for yacht tourism with high economic benefits.

Developing Sector and Competition in the Mediterranean

As a result of the increasing demand around the world, the revenue from the yacht tourism sector is expected to reach approximately € 80 billion by 2022. The majority of this cake is the Mediterranean Sea. The yacht tourism movements in the Mediterranean generally start from the Western Mediterranean coasts to the East Mediterranean coasts. In this context, yacht tourism routes, that are France, Italy and Spain in the west, are shifting to Croatia, Turkey and Greece in the east. France, Italy and Spain, the world's most popular tourist destinations, meet the demand for yacht tourism in the Mediterranean region by as much as 80%. The remaining is shared by Croatia, Turkey, Greece and North African countries. There is competition among Mediterranean countries in maritime tourism sector, especially in yacht tourism. Countries are building new marinas for mega yachts, while increasing their mooring capacity.

Marina Sector in Turkey

Linking the Asian and European continents and intersection of civilizations, Turkey, attracts attention with its history, cultural and natural charm. The rich cultural heritage, favorable climatic conditions, the availability of quality accommodation facilities, rich cuisine and advanced infrastructure have significant potential for yachting activities. In Turkey, yacht tourism is considered as "blue voyage". Starting from Istanbul, it is possible to visit many natural and historical beauties on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. In this context, the blue cruise plays an important role in the development of yacht tourism activities. Turkey's most popular tourist area, Istanbul, stands out with Turkey's first mega-marina investments in recent years.

Marinas in Istanbul takes a 25% share of the total capacity in Turkey. The “Teknepark” projects initiated by Ispark, a subsidiary of the Istanbul Municipality, increase the capacity.
