ANTALYA - Antalya provincial Treasurer Hidayet Mat has announced that the Treasury had received seven applications to reserve land to build university campuses in Antalya in the last two years.
Antalya Trade and Industry Chamber, or ATSO, Chairman Çetin Osman Budak also said Antalya had the potential to be an alternative to Turkish Cyprus with the number of university investments.
Mat said seven groups had applied to the Treasury to request land to build universities on.
Pointing out that the demand to establish universities in Antalya would increase in the near future, Budak said Antalya aspires to be a brand city. He added that the significance of the existence of medical faculties was increasing in Antalya, which holds an important place in health tourism.
"The extension of the health insurance agreement between Europe and Turkey is rising every day," he said. "We do not want many more universities; we want and support the qualified and prestigious schools."
