President Erdoğan: Istanbul’s brand value will increase through the project

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of Tersane Istanbul which will be built in the Haliç region.

Saying that the Tersane Istanbul Project will elevate Istanbul to a totally distinct level, President Erdoğan noted that two marinas and three 5-star hotels will also be built as part of the project.

Stating that approximately 30 million domestic and foreign tourists are expected to visit the shipyard annually, President Erdoğan noted: “The project will not only increase the brand value of our city of Istanbul but, inshallah will also positively contribute to Turkey’s tourism income. Thus, Haliç will harbor both Haliç Science Center, which will be Europe’s biggest science center when its construction is completed, and another spectacular facility which will contribute to the beauty of the region.”

“We will continue to beautify Istanbul in the upcoming days with its roads, subways, parks, city gardens, infrastructure and superstructure, and with spectacular facilities as we are doing here today,” said the President, adding that they will continue to work for Turkey and for Istanbul so long as the people support them.
