Cappadocia has received many visitors, with more than 3 million tourists, a new figure compared to the number of tourists it receives each year.

Commenting on the figures, Deputy of AK Party in parliament for the Nevsehir, Mr Yucel, said, "There is no doubt that Cappadocia is one of the tourist areas that has achieved a global status for itself. It is like a legend in the fantasy world, so we aspire to exceed 3 million tourists."

"We have achieved our goal of reaching 3 million tourists, but now we look forward to more distant goals, with at least 7 million tourists. And we have enough infrastructure to receive more tourists," said Mr Yucel.

"The Cappadocia District Directorate, which now comprises four cities and nine towns, has been established to strengthen local administration and make progress in tourism in Cappadocia. We must pave the way for the next generations to promote the tourism sector in Cappadocia, which is on UNESCO World Heritage List. With this Directorate, we will seek to develop our region to promote tourism in Cappadocia to the highest levels to reach the desired goal," added Yucel.
