The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu visited Fethiye Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) and attended the consultation meeting with council members. He opened the Compliance and Mediation Center.
Speaking at the meeting
hosted by Fethiye CCI President Osman Çıralı, Hisarcıklıoğlu first touched upon
the importance of the Compliance and Mediation Center, which they opened. The
TOBB President said, “As you know, an average case takes years. Thanks to
mediation, you will be able to see that cases that took months or even years,
here in a few weeks, reach a conclusion. Now you will be able to resolve all
your trade disputes here, both faster and cheaper. You should definitely use
this opportunity that our Chamber has brought to your feet.”
- Vocational training
project
Stating that they
ensured that the private sector took part in vocational education through the
Chambers for the first time, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “Our Fethiye Chamber
undertook the patronage of this vocational high school. In this way, our young
people will grow up by acquiring the skills you need, they will be sought-after
employees, not intermediate staff, and they will bring solutions to your
problem of finding qualified employees. In line with the demand of the
shipbuilding sector, our Chamber has also started a Shipbuilding workshop
project within the school. I find this initiative, which will both make our
young people have a profession and increase our export income, very valuable.”
TOBB President
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that Fethiye Chamber of Commerce also protects local
values and emphasized that branding will only be achieved in this way.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “In this context, Fethiye has taken under protection by
registering Kaya Figs, Fethiye Tahini and Seydiler Rugs with geomarkers. The
Seydikemer Agricultural OIZ project aims to support and develop animal
husbandry. The Fethiye Underwater History Park project aims to revive diving
tourism, which has lost momentum in the region. In fact, all these services and
projects are indicators of a vision. It is the work of a contemporary management
approach that aims to serve its members in the best way and enrich its city. I
was proud of the projects of our chamber aiming to provide the best, highest
quality service to Fethiye. I wholeheartedly congratulate President Osman
Çıralı, the board of directors and the assembly.”
- Five-star service
from Fethiye CCI
Reminding that Fethiye
CCI is an accredited chamber, Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the Chamber offers
five-star service to its members. TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “I am
working together with my brother Osman in Ankara and TOBB. He has served in our
CCI Council. He represents you in the best way in Ankara. Both to carry out
studies that add value to Fethiye and to bring your every problem to Ankara and
look for a solution. Most recently, last month, at the Access to Finance
Consultation Meeting we organized at TOBB in Ankara, President Osman conveyed
the problems you are experiencing in accessing credit to the general managers
of our 3 public banks. During the pandemic, he became an interpreter for your
troubles. He collected your troubles and demands. Together, we have
communicated these to the government, which is in charge. We also got results
from a significant part of them. A lot of support and arrangements have been
implemented. But our troubles are not over; of course there are problems. We
constantly express them, convey them to the relevant Ministers and try to
provide solutions.”
At the end of his
speech, Hisarcıklıoğlu emphasized the importance of unity and solidarity and
said, “When we are one and together, Allah gives grace and prosperity. As long
as we don't marginalize each other. Let's not exclude anyone because of their
opinion, their beliefs, their opinions. Let us know that we can overcome every
problem with common sense and dialogue.”
- School gospel to
Fethiye
Hisarcıklıoğlu gave the
good news that they decided to build a school in Fethiye upon the request of
Fethiye CCI President Osman Çıralı, and announced that the TOGG automobile
factory would be opened on October 29 as the second good news.
- Thanks from Çıralı
Fethiye CCI President
Osman Çıralı thanked Hisarcıklıoğlu for his visit and explained the
expectations and troubles of the district in detail. Çıralı pointed out that
the tourism sector is very important for the region, and that new markets have
become critical for the sector, which brings serious foreign currency to the
country's economy.
