#Alacati75Decibels

You may have witnessed the #alacati75decibel campaign launched by the Alaçatı Tourism Association. This campaign, which is also supported by the Çeşme Municipality, is testing the determination of civil society on any issue that could be a “bad trend” for all our tourism regions before the season.

There is a problem...
Some businesses in our popular tourist resort Alaçatı, "ignore" some other businesses and the residents of the town, and make "disturbing noise" until the early hours of the morning.
They call the noise they make "entertainment" and the entertainment "music"!
This chaotic situation, which has made Alaçatı uninhabitable especially in the 45-day high season in the last 5 years, "for some reason" cannot be prevented!
However, any noise that spills onto the streets after 12:00 at night is "forbidden" by law! Just
because Alaçatı is a tourist resort, the authorities have relaxed this and named it 01:00...
But no one listens or pays attention!

There are patients who are almost having a nervous breakdown...
There are elderly people who are helpless...
There are those who will go to work the next day.
There are those who stay in hotels in Alaçatı to spend their holidays.
There are townspeople who want peace, tranquility and silence.

Moreover, there is an unfair competition situation that is faced by those who do not cause this noise and want to do their job properly. There are also those who have to close their shops early and leave at the exact time they are supposed to be doing business because of the noise.
The residents of the town are expecting a desperate intervention from the authorities…
Chaos is ongoing…

In my opinion, those who cause this noise are decreasing Alaçatı's future, its brand value and competitive power.

There is a #alacati75decibel campaign to draw attention to this situation!
If the authorities who are obliged to implement the sanctions related to the law support this campaign, "Alacati will return to its factory settings".

There is no example anywhere in the world

We all travel to touristic areas all around the world. 
Each place has its own unique character that turns it into a touristic destination.
Some are filled with history, some with art and culture, some with gastronomy, some with architectural features that reflect the local texture.
But you cannot hear the sound of music spilling out onto the streets in any of them. Because the moment you start hearing that sound, the “system crashes”.
In other words, a contl+alt+delete situation occurs.
For those who want musical entertainment, options such as Ibiza and Mykonos are offered. So that they can have fun with loud music until the morning!

Alaçatı became Alaçatı with its unique architectural texture, streets each of which are photo sets, local food, cultural and historical richness and people. The people of Alaçatı who discovered it preserved these features meticulously for many years. In other words, those who are “whetted in appetite” today owe the money that goes into the coffers to those who meticulously preserved these features of Alaçatı.

But they are leaving!
The tourists who really visit Alaçatı not only in the summer but all year round, who spend money and value the texture of Alaçatı are withdrawing one by one. It seems like the businesses that are the source of the noise will be left alone with those who want to settle the bill with "a beer" all night long.

Of course Alaçatı will return to factory settings, but this will be expensive because of the lining!
