Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik has been re-elected as President of ANTAB, the Antalya Tourism Infrastructure Union. The re-election, reported on June 12, 2026, reaffirms confidence in Özçelik and Alanya’s continued central role in the regional development of Antalya province.
ANTAB is a crucial organisation responsible for shaping the future of tourism and infrastructure across the entire Antalya province, directly impacting holidaymakers, international residents, and future visitors. Özçelik’s ongoing leadership is expected to provide stability and a clear direction for the coming years, ensuring ‘Alanya’s signature’ on the region’s development plans.
The organisation’s primary mission involves guiding Antalya’s tourism and infrastructure future, including planning new roads, improving public facilities, water supply, waste management, and developing tourist amenities.
