"Dalaman is located on the coast in the South west of Turkey, where the mediterranean sea meets the Agean sea. Our county has an International Airport, the Tigem State Farm, an Agricultural Reformatory and a Paper Factory, but all of these businesses, although they do not make profits, are not really benefitting Dalaman.

Dlaman has many picturesque bays and 150 km of coastline. All of this is unspoilt and uncommercialised. The main pulse of Dalamans tourism, the new Yacht Marina, was blocked by many excuses and pretexts.

We have no time for excuses anymore! The new Dalaman Yacht Marina will begin this year. It will be huge! It will have capacity for 5 ocean liners and 650 yachts. Only 40 km away, Rhodos has 7 Yacht Marinas. This Yacht Marina will help Dalaman and the Turkish economy very much." Dalaman Mayor said.

The Dogus Tourism Group has decided to invest in marinas to meet the current demand in the market. The Group was awarded Build-Operate-Transfer contracts for the Dalaman, Didim and Turgutreis Marinas. Presently, only the Turgutreis Marina has been completed and has been operational since 2003. Work on the Didim Marina project started in October 2006. The marina is scheduled to be completed by 2009. Work on the Dalaman Marina Project is scheduled to start in 2009.

Among the projects scheduled to start in the coming weeks is the Dalaman Marina, the construction of which will begin this month, Husnu Akhan, the chief executive officer of Dogus Group told the Hurriyet newspaper. (15.10.2008)
