Erciyes Ski Resort, one of the favorite places of winter tourism, will no longer be remembered only for its snow-white slopes and the unique experiences it offers to ski enthusiasts. With the exciting statements made by Erciyes A.Ş. Board Chairman Hamdi Elcüman, it was announced that the mountain is taking firm steps towards becoming the new meeting point of sports and athletes in the summer months. Erciyes, which broke a historical record by hosting 2 million 750 thousand tourists in the winter season, aims to maintain the same liveliness and activity in the summer.
High Altitude Camping Center is Overflowing
The development that most clearly shows the potential of Erciyes in the summer months is the high demand for the High Altitude Camp Center. President Elcüman stated that football teams and athletes from various branches of sports have shown great interest in Erciyes for the summer season. He stated his claims in this area with the words, “This year, our high altitude center will be full. We aim to promote Erciyes not only with winter sports but also with summer sports.” Since the positive effects of high altitude training on athletes are known, Erciyes’ investments in this area are starting to bear fruit. The fact that an agency has signed an agreement with five Arab football teams and that these teams will be camping in Erciyes is an important indicator that the center is also becoming known internationally.
Summer Excitement with Beach Volleyball and Handball
Erciyes Inc. is preparing to host not only professional athletes but also sports fans with unforgettable events during the summer months. Described as one of the highest beaches in the world, Erciyes will host exciting events such as beach volleyball and beach handball, ensuring that the mountain has a lively and entertaining atmosphere in the summer. Such events will contribute to Erciyes breaking the perception of being only a winter sports center and becoming an attractive destination for visitors interested in different branches of sports.
World Stars Meet in Erciyes: Good News of International Tennis Tournament
The most important of Erciyes' summer surprises is the international tennis tournament to be held in May. President Hamdi Elcüman gave Kayseri great news, announcing that there are 12 modern tennis courts in Erciyes and that the tournament to be held on these courts will host many important tennis stars in the top 500 in the world rankings. Sharing the excitement of the tournament with the words, "I am giving Kayseri great news; we will offer tennis enthusiasts an unforgettable experience this summer," Elcüman emphasized that this event will also allow Erciyes to make a name for itself in the international sports arena. Erciyes, which hosted a tennis tournament last year, is preparing to raise the bar and sign a more prestigious organization this year.
Erciyes: The Center of Sports for 12 Months
With the visionary approach of Erciyes A.Ş., the mountain will have a full season not only in the winter months but also in the summer. Erciyes, which will host various sports such as football, tennis, beach volleyball, beach handball, will also offer a wide range of activities to its visitors with cycling organizations and different festivals. President Elcüman “We are ambitious; Erciyes will be a very important high altitude camp center. In addition to this, we are planning other activities and various festivals. Again, various sports branches are showing interest in us,” 1 His words underline Erciyes' goal of becoming a sports center not only regionally but also internationally. Erciyes, which will become an ideal spot for day-trip visitors, will maintain its liveliness in every season with its natural beauties and various activities. With these strategic moves, Erciyes Ski Center looks to the future with hope as an important sports and tourism destination in Türkiye.
