Tree cutting issue raised at Ünye caravan park project

The municipal caravan park in Konyaaltı, with a capacity of 70 vehicles, is full of tourists during the holiday period. Visitors from Turkey and abroad choose it for its proximity to the beach, infrastructure, and affordable prices.

The Caravan Manufacturers and Suppliers Association (KAİTED) held a meeting in Didim, where participants stated that the main issue is not a lack of campsites but the inability to park legally. They ask municipalities to create equipped zones with reasonable fees and oversight.

46-year-old Birdane Ateş, who dreamed of wearing a wedding dress, realized her wish with support from Sarıçam municipality and Adana Caravan and Outdoor Sports Club. At the opening of the city's first caravan park, she asked the mayor, leading to a symbolic ceremony, photo shoot, and celebration with music.

At the pre-holiday livestock market in Bursa, sellers have started using caravans and tents for 24-hour duty, abandoning overnight stays in barns. Prices range from 25,000 to 450,000 lira.

Heavy rainfall in the Erciyes region (Kayseri) caused the water level of Lake Tekir to rise sharply, flooding caravans, tents, and containers belonging to vacationers. No casualties reported.

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.
