There could be many more yacht crewing jobs available in Didim, Turkey thanks to a brand new marina, D- Marin. This resort town, which is frequented by British, American and other European vacationers, is expected to provide about 650 new jobs for people working on yachts as well as in the marina. The marina has 1050 berths for mooring as well as dry dock capacity.

With the yacht crewing sector it can be expected that most yachts docking here will be private ones from all over Europe. The infrastructure cost about 75 million Dollars and the Director of Management stated that it was a dream come true to have this new marina in Didim to boost the tourism industry.

The construction of the marina is unique in the fact that it is an environmentally friendly one. There are for example, going to be 112 thousand tress planted in and around the marina. With the importance of this marina to the development of the Turkish tourism industry as well as the economic implications, the Ministry of Transport and Communications has mentioned that there are about 22 other marinas in the planning stages. This is said to cost about 750 million Dollars.

The main aim of increasing the number of marinas is to double Turkey’s percentage in the shares of the yacht tourism industry in the Mediterranean. Currently it is at 5 percent and is hoped to reach ten percent in the near future. This move is part of the Prime Minister’s plan to make Turkey one of the top ten economies by 2023 by restoring confidence in all areas of the country.
