- Would better advertising could
there be?
TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that they’ve come to Bolu for
propitious works. Hisarcıklıoğlu reminded that Bolu is famous for its cooks,
nature and philanthropists, stressing that the city is almost a green paradise.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “In summer, winter, spring, autumn; Bolu is beautiful in
every season. Abant, Yedigöller and Gölcük, such national nature parks are here
with their great beauty. Kartalkaya is a center of winter tourism. Bolu is a
center for congress, winter and highland tourism. You also have potential in
sports and thermal tourism. Karacasu, Mudurnu, Babas and Sarot, Seben,
Kesenözü, Pavlu, Göynük, Çatak Thermal Springs are here. You have these natural
beauties but you need to take advantage of them. You can get more share from
tourism. Between İstanbul and Ankara there is no better geography than Bolu.
Position yourself for a weekend break instead of a day trip. Bolu is the third
habitable province. Would better advertising could there be than that? At the
same time, you are a city of education and industry.
There is a white meat, eggs and wood industry in Bolu. You have your
trademark yellow potatoes and chocolate brand. Bolu's future is brilliant, so
invest in Bolu's future. Bolu Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an accredited
chamber. It offers a 5-star service to its members. It has been serving its members
for 91 years. We are working closely with the Chairman Türker both at TOBB and
at IKV. Chairman Türker is a CCI Council Member. He represents Bolu and the
other 181 CCIs in the Council. Again Chairman Türker contributes to the
European Union policies at IKV. I would like to congratulate the CCI on one
issue. There are 2 women council members in the Bolu CCI assembly. In fact, Ms.
Fatma Lebibe is Vice Chair of the Board of Directors. That's why I congratulate
you. The development agency is doing EU projects. We were just passing through
the temporary storage facilities which we will be opening today. Members are
doing projects to export. There are TIR Park projects. The chamber also
preserves local values.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that Bolu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has applied

With a project launched by TOBB, Bolu CCI now acts as a “digital chamber”
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “All documents are online for members to use. That's how
Bolu serves its members. I would like to thank the chairman, management,
parliament and employees for their understanding and application of service.”
