2027 Uzungol Winter Festival Details Announced: Fixed Prices Remain, Accommodation System Changes

Preparations have begun for the 2nd Uzungol Winter Festival to be held in 2027 in Uzungol, located in the Caykara district of Trabzon. It has been learned that the fixed price application, which attracted great interest in the first festival, will continue, while a significant change is planned in the accommodation system. According to information obtained by Gunebakis, hotels will serve with three different price categories in the new festival. This new regulation aims to appeal to visitors with different budgets and to cover the costs of hotel operators more fairly. The details of the festival will be clarified after meetings with tourism sector representatives.

The two-tier price tariff applied in the first festival will be replaced by a three-category model in the 2027 organization. According to the new regulation, accommodation fees will be determined separately for single rooms, double rooms, and luxury hotels with higher service standards. The new system aims to offer options to visitors with different budgets and to cover the costs of high-standard businesses more fairly. The final form is expected to be determined after meetings with tourism sector representatives. This change will contribute to making the festival more inclusive and sustainable.

Before the first Uzungol Winter Festival held this year, accommodation fees were fixed by a commission. Accordingly, the nightly accommodation fee for a double room was set at 2,500 TL, and the bed-and-breakfast concept was 3,500 TL. Additionally, children aged 0-6 were free, while an extra fee of 750 TL was determined for the 6-12 age group, and an extra bed fee of 1,250 TL was applied for each additional adult staying in the room. This practice, valid throughout the festival, was received positively by both visitors and tourism businesses. This successful model will also be the basis for the 2027 festival.

The new pricing model to be applied at the 2027 Uzungol Winter Festival is expected to be officially finalized after sector meetings. The aim is both to prevent visitors from experiencing price grievances and to make Trabzon tourism stronger during the winter months. The festival is expected to revitalize the regional economy and increase Uzungol's appeal in winter tourism. Authorities continue their efforts to make the new system more attractive for both domestic and foreign tourists.

In conclusion, the 2027 Uzungol Winter Festival draws attention with innovations in the accommodation system. While the preservation of the fixed price application facilitates visitors' budget planning, the three-tier pricing model offers more options. The festival is expected to make significant contributions to Trabzon's winter tourism. All these developments are considered important steps towards making Uzungol a preferred destination not only in summer but also in winter.
