INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED INTO HOTEL
Stating that an investigation has been launched into a hotel in Antalya that charged different fees based on nationality, Minister Ersoy said that the difference was refunded to the guest and a fine of 54 thousand liras was imposed on the hotel.
IS IT RETURNING?
Stating that the Istanbul F1 track belongs to the General Directorate of Foundations, which is affiliated with the Ministry, Ersoy used the following expressions:
"A tender process took place there in April. The tender was successfully completed. Now we have moved on to the second stage. The site handover will take place in the first week of May. This means the current tenant, the tenant currently inside, will vacate the premises and hand it over to the new tenant who won the tender. Afterwards, the contracting process regarding bringing Formula 1 races to Istanbul, to Turkey, as of 2026 will begin quickly. The process is continuing here as planned."
