Aksu Municipal Council Rejects ANFAŞ’s Alcohol Licence Application
The Aksu Municipal Council has recently rejected an application for an alcohol licence from the well-known ANFAŞ exhibition centre in Aksu, a significant district in the Antalya region.
The decision was reached due to the exhibition centre' s location near the motorway between Antalya and Alanya, which poses a calculated risk of traffic accidents.
This could have consequences for visitors, tourists, and foreign residents planning to attend events in the region, as access to alcohol service will be restricted at the centre.
The refusal from the Aksu Municipal Council is based on an assessment of public safety.
The proximity to a road as heavily trafficked as the Antalya-Alanya motorway, combined with potential alcohol service, has led to concerns regarding an increased danger of accidents in the area surrounding the exhibition centre.
The council is prioritising the safety of both road users and visitors. ANFAŞ Fuar Merkezi serves as a central hub for major trade fairs, exhibitions, and congresses in the Antalya region.
The centre attracts both domestic and international visitors throughout the year.
The lack of an alcohol licence will mean that all future events held at the exhibition centre must be organised without the provision of alcohol service, which changes the experience for participants.
For tourists, Nordic travellers, and foreign residents visiting or attending events at ANFAŞ, this means that they will not find alcohol for sale at the exhibition centre.
It is important for anyone planning a visit to trade fairs or conferences in Aksu, near Antalya, to be aware of this change so that they can plan their visit accordingly.
