Bodrum hosts RS:X ’09

Filed under: Turkey — admin @ 2:02 pm

BODRUM - Bodrum will host one of the most important events in the water sports calendar this year.

Yalıkavak, a popular holiday resort located on the north shore of the Bodrum Peninsula will host the RS:X 2009 Youth Windsurf World Championship this summer. Turkey’s victory was declared in a meeting held by the International Sailing Federation, or ISAF, last week in the Spanish capital Madrid. Speaking at a press conference in Istanbul, Turkish Sailing Federation Chairwoman Nazlı İmre declared that Bodrum won the bid to host the prestigious event.

The RS:X class was chosen in 2004 to be the official Olympic board and as there is only one design this levels the playing field by minimizing the “gear factor” and ensures that the best sailor, not equipment, will win.

France and Greek Cyprus were also bidding for the host status, but Bodrum was the winner. “The championship, which will attract 350 windsurfers from 45 countries, will give a boost to the tourism of Yalıkavak and Bodrum.” İmre also thanked the former Yalıkavak Major Mustafa Saruhan for his support for windsurfing. Saruhan was demoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs last August. The tournament will be held between July 24 and Aug. 1

If you don’t want to miss out, book one of Cumberland’s rental properties in Bodrum at the Seaview Regency Prestige. Located above the bay of Küçükbük and next door to Yalıkavak come and try your own windsurfing skills this summer.

In a recent article by the Nour Group Turkey they take a look at the future of property investment in Turkey.
“The property sector is like a fashion trend. Every few years it repeats itself.” The article begins “The last of the golden years for a large property investment boom in Turkey began in 2003 and carried on strongly until 2005. The last preparation year was 2002 when a new law was passed, and foreign nationals were allowed to purchase real estate in Turkey in their own name. Well be prepared. The year to get ready for the next big property boom is 2009. The next set of golden years for Turkey’s real estate market will be in 2010, 2011, and 2012.” This appears to echo the thoughts of many in the industry.
It continues by saying that “According to a representative of Garanti GYO, interest in Turkey investment property has intensified because the market sector has been averaging 40% returns while the rest of Europe floats around 5% growth. Obviously these levels of potential profitability are of great interest to corporate investors and it is worth taking into consideration that Dubai Holding’s commitment to the Turkish property market represents their largest international financial investment which just goes to show how certain they are of the large profit margins in Turkey.
There are also many opportunities to buy into investment properties in Turkey for private investors; in Istanbul many construction companies are creating brand new residential communities that are certain to represent a positive investment. Along the southern Turkish coastline in particular developers are involved in the development of spectacular resorts in huge demand from tourists and second home investors. Private investors can consider aiming for investment property to rent out to the tourism market; alternatively even buying property in Turkey off plan to resell to the growing base of overseas buyers seeking individual properties in Turkey.”
The article goes on to give examples of investments in both Istanbul and Antalya, however all of the areas along the Turkish Riviera will similarly affected.
“Compared to all the global emerging real estate markets, it is possible that Turkey’s property market is top choice for private investors looking for a suitable balance between risk and reward. Turkey continues to politically and economically emerge; there may be risk, but as it counterbalances this ever decreasing risk is also an ever increasing potential to profit from property in Turkey.
Property investment in Turkey is equal with choice as an investor has a choice of location, investment approach, target market and undeniably an unsurpassed diversity of property advantages.”

Bodrum Property Developer in Turkey

Cumberland Properties specializes in building high quality Bodrum Property. With over 5 years of experience in designing and developing properties in Bodrum, Cumberland Properties is proud to say it has made hundreds of happy homeowners in the Bodrum Peninsula. Bodrum Property is high in demand for property investors and holiday home buyers from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia and Russia.

Bodrum offers year-round great weather, colorful entertainment, historical sites, delicious dining, cheap shopping and overall peace and tranquility that will add years to the life of all those that live and visit here. With the latest Vita Park Golf Course and the Bodrum Golf Club serving the golf fans in the Bodrum area, it is no wonder why so many people choose Bodrum at the top of their holiday destination.

Covering an area of 649 square kilometres, Bodrum is situated on Turkey’s Aegean coast and holds a unique history that stretches back 2,000 years. Located between Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Black Sea, Bodrum is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the World – the tomb of Mausolus who ruled on behalf of the Persians from 377 to 353 BC. More recently Bodrum has become a tourist mecca attracting hundreds of thousands of European and domestic holidaymakers each summer.

Renowned for its bougainvillea-splashed sugar-cube houses and vibrant nightlife, Bodrum also boasts excellent restaurants, a great museum and various local markets selling food and clothing, which run throughout the week. There is little humidity on this stretch of the coast, with the summer heat tempered by sea breezes and the sun often shining continuously from May to October. Winters in Bodrum are also mild and because of these pleasent year-round temperatures, the resort is more than a one-season town and attracts visitors throughout the year, aided by Bodrum’s international airport, which is well served by charter flights, making access from the UK easy.

Bodrum’s skyline is dominated by an imposing Crusader Castle which overlooks the harbour and the international marina. Beyond the town itself, much of the Bodrum peninsular is carpeted in olive groves and ringed by smaller resorts, beaches and new marinas at Turgutreis and Yalikavak.

Since the Turkish law change allowing non-Turkish citizens purchase property in designated areas, Bodrum Property has more than doubled in value and continues to do so. The stable economy of Turkey and the lower property prices compared to their counterparts in most of Europe, Bodrum Property is attractive to most investors.

Investors thinking of purchasing a rental property in Turkey may be able to look forward to healthy yields, it has been claimed. Turkey currently offers good value housing for foreign buyers and its popularity with holidaymakers and businessmen means that there will be a solid demand for property, reports Property Wire.

People who are thinking of buying a Bodrum property have been advised that investing in Turkey could be highly profitable. According to Aston Lloyd, this European country is an emerging market which offers very competitive house prices. However, growth in the market means that property values are on the up, which means investors who buy early could benefit from capital appreciation.

Overseas property investors are being encouraged to take advantage of recent developments in Turkey. According to property author Dominic Whiting, low-cost airline easyJet is now flying between Gatwick and Dalaman four times a week. This means that it could be an ideal location for people who are thinking of buying a buy-to-let property overseas, as this could trigger growth in the tourist sector. As a result, owners of holiday accommodation could enjoy higher occupancy rates and greater rental yields.

A growing number of overseas property buyers are choosing to invest in Turkish property, a local news provider has said. According to the Turkish Daily News, investing in the country’s property market has become a “hot new trend” among buyers from other nations. The newspaper said this was largely due to Turkey offering greater potential for capital growth than more established foreign property hotspots in Europe. In addition, it stated the country’s population was likely to rise as it became more prosperous, resulting in greater demand for property.
