We see that the second residents will not return to the main cities and will continue to stay in Bodrum. As a result of our research, the population that will emerge when the second owners do not return will increase from 350,000 to 400,000. Normally we address the population of 176,500 inhabitants.

It is a fact here that these actions taken according to the population of 176,500 will be spent according to the population of 400,000.

Here are the facts that we know why we all want to register their population reflects that Turkey Turkstat Statistical Institute will increase the share in that time that we receive from our general budget, “he said.
