INVITATION TO THE ZONE 21 INSTITUTE ANTALYA MEETING

WE CAN'T WAIT TO BE TOGETHER IN ANTALYA'S UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE

Dear Rotary Zone 21 participants,

Antalya, formerly known as Pamphylia, meaning "very fertile," is one of Turkey's most popular coastal cities, a city where life has continued uninterrupted since ancient times. This land is a true treasure trove of culture and nature, with its fertile orchards, vast arable lands, pristine Blue Flag sea, unique caves, magnificent waterfalls, world-renowned tourist resorts, and historical sites bearing traces of history in every corner. Furthermore, Antalya is home to the world's most important Archaeological Museum, opening the doors to a rich past for its visitors.

Welcoming thousands of businesspeople every year, Antalya has become an indispensable meeting point not only for tourism but also for the business world. The 2016 EXPO, one of the world's oldest and largest international events, once again highlighted the city's importance in this area. At EXPOs, ideas, cultures, and projects related to the future of humanity are showcased, rather than products, paving the way for global collaboration and innovation.

As the Rotary family, we strive to generate new ideas that touch people and add value to society, and to strengthen our bonds of friendship, through the Institutes we organize annually. In our Institutes, we develop joint projects for the future of our world and, by sharing our knowledge and experience, we step together towards a stronger future.

The Zone 21 Institute, which will be held in Antalya from November 3-8, 2026, holds great significance and value for all these reasons. As all Districts in Türkiye D-2420 & D-2430 & D-2440, we are working tirelessly to host the Zone 21 Institute and you, our valued participants, in the best possible way in Antalya. We look forward to seeing you again in Antalya, where we can strengthen our friendship and embark on new projects together.

With our best wishes,

Erden Gökmen (D-2420) & Orhan Uludağ (D-2430) & Aylin Olut Ötken (D-2440)
