Various techniques will be undertaken to spread tourism throughout 12 months in the following three years, according to the Medium Term Program (MTP), which spans the years 2022-2024.
Aim Promotion and marketing activities will be carried out with international airline companies and tour operators in order to increase and maintain direct scheduled flights from selected cities in market countries to touristic regions with high accommodation capacity, in accordance with the program's goals.

Alternative tourism products such as health, gastronomy, festivals, culture, eco-tourism, faith, education, sports, and bicycles will be determined, market countries with high demand will be identified, and promotional activities will be carried out in order to diversify tourism in line with changing consumer trends and technological developments.
Russian visitors, on the other hand, begin their vacation to Antalya Demre by visiting the St. Nicholas Memorial Museum and the Myra Ancient City, both of which are sacred to them. The visitors that embark on a boat trip to Kekova from Ayaz Harbor and Demre's Üçaz District occasionally come across Caretta Carettas.

The old Sunken City, which is located in the sea, is the first destination for travelers. The Sunken City is a museum that follows the history of the water. There are several photographs and movies captured. The boats then go to the ancient city of Simena, which is now known as Kaleköy and resembles an eagle's nest.
The historic city of Simena, as well as the Lycian sarcophagus in the water, which is featured in Turkey's advertising brochures, may be seen from the yacht. The guides listen to the history, nature, and peculiarities of the place.
In every bay passed on the way back, you can see the yachts that embark on a few Kekova excursions. These are the yachts that depart from Kaş, Üçaz District, and Demre's ayaz Harbor on a daily trip and go on a blue cruise from the Antalya and Mula areas. Yachts frequently stop in Gökkaya Bay, a natural harbor, throughout their trip.
Some visitors enjoy ringo during their break. You pass past the Pirate Cave on your way back. Tourists are taken within the cave on tiny boats. The Russian tourist trip in Kekova comes to a conclusion in Demre's ayaz Harbor.
Taran Lena, a Russian, stated, "Kekova is a stunning woman. This place captivated me. The sea water is a distinct color. I've never seen such a lovely sea. People relax here by swimming, viewing history, and admiring nature. It brings joy to people. I came for the first time, and I want to return many times."
Dmitriy Liakhov, a Russian who took part in a boat excursion to Kekova, said: "For the first time, I visited Turkey. Kekova is a breathtakingly gorgeous sanctuary where history, nature, and the sea are all entwined. Even though it was our first visit, we fell in love with Turkey and the Turks. It is a luxury to spend your vacation here. I will advise all of my friends and family to visit Turkey for a vacation, and I will return "he stated.
