30 content creators hosted in Mardin for promotion

Mardin Otelciler ve Turizmciler Derneği hosted 30 social media content creators in Mardin to contribute to the promotion of the city. Within the scope of the program, the content creators toured the historic streets of Artuklu district, examined the historical and cultural values in Nusaybin on-site, and visited Dara Antik Kenti and Beyazsu. Dernek Başkanı Seçkin Acar stated that social media has become an important power in city promotion, which is why they invited the content creators. Acar emphasized that the world is advancing on technology and that the majority of people watch the content creators they follow on social media. In this context, he expressed that Mardin can be visited in every season and that the city has year-round tourism potential, not just seasonal.

Acar stated that promotion efforts continue with the support of different institutions, emphasizing that Mardin is a city that needs to be visited not only with its historical texture but with all its districts. He said that Türkiye Turizm Tanıtım ve Geliştirme Ajansı and Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı are carrying out similar works, and even content creators from Fransa were invited to Mardin. Stating that Mardin is a city of languages and religions, Acar expressed that they want to tell the whole world about this city with its history, religions, and different cultures. He mentioned that they want people not just to shop and leave, but to experience Mardin and spend time there. He said that each of the districts such as Boncuklu Tarla, Dara Antik Kenti, Yeşilli, Savur, and Nusaybin is valuable.

Nusaybin Esnaf ve Sanatkarlar Odası Başkan Vekili Beşir Aydın stated that social media content creators will make a significant contribution to the promotion of Mardin and Nusaybin. Aydın, who said that the district has the potential to handle the increasing tourist density, expressed that Mor Yakup Kilisesi in Nusaybin is the world's first university and has maintained this title throughout history. He emphasized that after migrations and developments, Harran Üniversitesi was opened, but the actual location is Nusaybin. He said that the world is developing heavily on social media and that content creators who show these beauties to the whole world are a huge plus.

Aydın emphasized that Nusaybin is a district open to development in terms of tourism, expressing that investments to be made and the mobility at the border gate will provide significant contributions to the district. Stating that Nusaybin has the potential to easily handle tourist density, Aydın said that whereas there used to be 5-6 arcades, now many mega centers and businesses have opened. He stated that the call of Esnaf ve Sanatkarlar Odası Başkanı Ömer Özel is for those Nusaybin residents who are in a good situation to invest in their district. He expressed that with the recent opening of the border gate to Suriye for transit passages, there will be incredible mobility and that Nusaybin is ready for this.

Such promotional activities aim to increase the tourism potential of Mardin and its districts. The shares that content creators will make through their social media accounts will increase the visibility of the city and help attract more visitors. As Dernek Başkanı Acar also stated, Mardin is a city that can be visited not only seasonally but in every season. Standing out with its historical and cultural riches, Mardin aims to become globally recognized through such works.
