After visiting Alanya in August for a month and only returning last week I was overwhelmed by the measures in place throughout Alanya. The turkish ministry has done an amazing job to keep their people and tourists safe. By implementing this requirement you will have the virus under control in no time and although 2020 has been a bad year for tourism you have 2021 to celebrate and improvement now will help your future grow.
