Three economies, one calendar
Antalya is best known for tourism, and the numbers explain why: according to Ministry of Culture and Tourism figures, the province received 16,308,937 foreign visitors between January and October 2025, with Russia, Germany and the United Kingdom as the three largest source markets.
Agriculture is the second pillar. The 2024-2028 regional plan of the West Mediterranean Development Agency (BAKA) states that 57 percent of Türkiye’s greenhouse production area lies in the TR61 region of Antalya, Isparta and Burdur, and that Antalya ranks second among provinces by crop production value thanks to intensive greenhouse vegetables. Aksu, Serik and Kumluca lead greenhouse vegetable production. The same plan treats health tourism as a separate topic.
What these sectors share is a hard calendar. A booking integration that fails in July, export paperwork that lags a harvest by a day or an unanswered message from a patient abroad all cost revenue immediately. We plan scope and go-live dates around that calendar rather than against it.
