With its cultural richness, nature and unique history, Çanakkale is a city that attracts tourism demand from the Mediterranean to the Western Aegean. Serban General Manager Mehmet İlker Akdeniz emphasized that Çanakkale is the favorite of many local and foreign tourists as an important location where ancient cultural treasures such as Homer's Iliad, with its history of approximately 5000 years, have developed with epics and reached reality and hosts important historical sites. “Considering that the interest in natural beauties and clean air has increased in the last two years due to the pandemic, Çanakkale is an important tourism city that offers everything in every season. In such a valuable region, it is important to respond to high expectations by providing world-class quality service. We set out with this vision and realized the first international hotel in the region. The hotel, which we realized as an investment of Açık Holding, aims to bring 5-star brand hotel quality to the city and increase the tourist potential.

We focus on making a difference in everything we do and building sustainable structures. DoubleTree by Hilton Çanakkale, which we started construction with this confidence, is our first project in hotel construction, but it will not be our last. We have also started a hotel project in Sultanahmet, the center of Istanbul's city tourism, and we plan to complete this project in 2023.
WITH ITS TECHNOLOGICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPERT 1915 ÇANAKKALE BRIDGE'S OPENING WILL REVITALIZE ÇANAKKALE TOURISM
Stating that the opening of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge will revive weekend tourism in Çanakkale, Akdeniz said, “The 1915 Çanakkale Bridge is a project that we have been waiting for a while and will facilitate the transportation of the region and thus increase the demand for the region. The bridge will position Çanakkale as a transit route and will be the stopping point for the transition from the Marmara Region to the Aegean Region. We are eagerly awaiting the opening of the bridge. With the opening of the bridge, I think that an international hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Çanakkale, which has not existed until now, will meet the expectations in Çanakkale, where weekend tourism will also revive with visitors from Istanbul and nearby cities.” and added that the region will be a center of attraction with its history, nature and easy access to big cities.
