Alanya Municipal Advisor and ALTAV Vice President Abdurrahman Açıkalın expressed his gratitude to influencers for their contributions to Alanya’s promotion. He stated, “Following the visits from Ozbekistan, I believe a beautiful cultural connection and renewed friendship have been established between the two countries with the 15-person influencer team.

“Direct Flights from Antalya to Ozbekistan Should Begin”
A group of Ozbek influencers, who are popular figures in the Ozbek film, cinema, and advertising industries, recently visited Alanya and shared their thoughts and admiration for the city.
Dilshodbek Nazarov, who has the most influential following among the group with 4.8 million followers under the username dili.me, expressed his impressions of the influencers’ Alanya trip: “Alanya’s historical texture and natural beauty captivated us. There is a unique beauty to be found in every corner of the city. We have shared some of these beauties with our followers from time to time, but we are eager to share more and tell them about Alanya. We had the opportunity to create some wonderful content. I also received very positive feedback from my followers; many people were curious about Alanya and messaged me. However, I would also like to point out that; when we came to Alanya, our plane landed in Antalya. We took a long bus ride from Antalya to Alanya and it was very tiring. If direct flights between Alanya-Gazipaşa and Taskent Ozbekistan are launched as planned, it would be much more comfortable for the people of both countries. I believe this will be a preferred choice for Uzbek citizens. With the start of these flights, more people will be able to discover the beauties of Alanya. I would also love to come back if these flights start. My time in Alanya was incredibly enjoyable and I can’t wait to visit again.”
Nazarov’s comments highlight the strong appeal that Alanya holds for Ozbek tourists. The city’s rich history, stunning natural beauty, and diverse attractions make it an ideal destination for those seeking a memorable vacation experience. The potential for direct flights between Alanya and Tashkent is seen as a significant factor that could further boost tourism from Ozbekistan.
“They Experienced SUP at Sunrise”
On the second day of the event, influencers took to the sea early in the morning, departing from the Red Tower and Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) in front of the Kizilkule and Shipyard, symbols of Alanya. This event, which started at 06:00 am, offered an unforgettable experience, combining Alanya’s unique sunrise view with its historical texture. The influencer who was successful in SUP was presented with a symbolic achievement award, leaving an unforgettable memory as a souvenir of the day.
Influencer Valisher Anvarov, who received the award together with his girlfriend Nigina Fakhriddinova, who was crowned Miss Uzbekistan five times between 2019-2024, expressed their feelings by saying, “We are very happy to participate in such an event in the magnificent sunrise view of Alanya.
