In April, a camera hidden inside a lamp was discovered in a bungalow rented by a family in Sapanca, an incident that shook tourism in the region. After the family took the matter to the judiciary, 2 business officials were detained and arrested. Following the incident, in line with the demolition order issued for the bungalow, 4 people commissioned by the business owners approximately 15 days ago completely dismantled two separate bungalows and removed them from the site.
SAVİBU included the following statements in its written statement to the public:
'This isolated incident does not represent the hundreds of businesses in Sapanca. Following the incident, our association took rapid action; comprehensive inspections were carried out at all member businesses, information and warnings regarding privacy, security, and ethical rules were issued, and additional measures were taken to increase guest safety. The vast majority of bungalow houses operating in Sapanca serve with principles of legality, transparency, and high guest satisfaction. Measures taken for the peace and safety of our guests are being meticulously maintained, and all sectoral and legal steps are being taken decisively to ensure that such a distressing incident does not happen again.'
While a comprehensive wave of inspections targeting other businesses in the region was launched on the occasion of the incident, it was emphasized that additional measures would be taken for the safety of bungalow vacationers. The tourism sector in Sapanca states that the peace of mind of guests is at the forefront with a series of measures aimed at restoring trust.
