Thus, we determined the new attraction areas in the city. When we look at caravan tourism, there was no infrastructure for caravan tourism on the Adıyaman - Mersin line. We quickly organized the opposite side of the pond. When we saw the demand, we did the second part of the work with our federation president and colleagues. Currently, the infrastructure and superstructure of caravan tourism, internet services by phone, are provided, where 35 caravans will come and receive service at the same time. Apart from these, they will be able to sit with the view of Alleben Pond. This place has a very special view that shows what water, green, 'Green Gaziantep' means.” used the phrases.
