Work has begun for the Visitor Center to be built in the Kula Divlit Volcanic Park area, one of the important geosites of the Kula - Salihli UNESCO Global Geopark. Hüseyin Tosun, Ali Öztozlu, Azmi Açıkdil, Kurtuluş Kuruçay and Uğur Topkaya later inspected the project area to be built in the Kula Divlit Volcanic Park area. During the Kula district visit, after the office visit to Kula Mayor Hüseyin Tosun, Hüseyin Tosun, Ali Öztozlu, Azmi Açıkdil, Kurtuluş Kuruçay and Uğur Topkaya later inspected the project area to be built in the Kula Geopark area. An inspection was carried out at the location where the Kula-Salihli Geopark Visitor Center will be built by Manisa Metropolitan Municipality in order to serve the Kula European and UNESCO Global Geopark, Turkey's first and only geopark. The 1500 square meter area will include visitor waiting areas, social facilities, meeting and training areas, bus and vehicle parking areas. Making a statement about the project, Kula Mayor Hüseyin Tosun said, “Kula-Salihli Geopark continues to be Turkey's first and only geopark. Geopark is an important place for us in the nature tourism leg of the 5 in 1 place project of Kula Municipality's tourism-oriented services, which we launched as 5 in 1 place. It is also an open air classroom in terms of earth sciences. Therefore, hundreds of university students, professors, scientists and academicians visit here every year. Kula tourism is changing, rising and will continue to rise with the Geopark. In this context, we, as the Association of Geopark Municipalities, applied to the agency under the name of the financial support program for tourism infrastructure in the financial support program with the 2020 development agency. Our project was entitled to receive support of 1 million 400 thousand lira. However, with the efforts of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality, its tender has now been launched. A tender worth approximately 3 and a half million. There is a Geopark visitor center within the project. When the visitor center is completed, it will be Turkey's first and only Geopark visitor center in the UNESCO Global Geopark network. This includes classrooms, presentation rooms, playrooms for children, cafes, car parks, areas where women can sell their products or souvenirs, where visitors to the geopark can linger socially and culturally and get information. will serve our visitors. When this visitor center is established, it will contribute even more to tourism in Kula. It will ensure mobility locally. In addition, locally produced products will be offered for sale. It will improve employment and perhaps prevent migration. It will make this place a more important center in Turkey. It will make it an important center in the world. The visitor center will hopefully increase the number of visitors from past to present, which was around 4 thousand and now stands at 10-11 thousand, towards millions. Starting from the development agency that contributed to this project, I would like to thank Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cengiz Ergün, Manisa Governor Yaşar Karadeniz, Salihli Municipality, which is within the Geopark Municipalities Union, and our mayor. I hope that we will all be able to cut the opening ribbon and put it into service when this project is completed. "I wish good luck to our country and Turkey," he said. Azmi Açıkdil, Advisor to the Mayor of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality, said the following about the project: “We are currently within the borders of the Geopark. One of the two important points of Kula Geopark. We are in front of the volcano cone where Kula Divlit Volcano is located. Another one is the Sandal volcano cone. We are here for the site delivery of the visitor center to be built in this region. In addition to adding great value to the Kula-Salihli Geopark, the visitor center will also gain importance in the eyes of UNESCO. Because many geoparks have such visitor centers. Here we will have a project that includes both a promotional and small-scale museum, seminar halls, cafeteria and souvenir shops. It will add great value to both UNESCO and Kula-Salihli Geopark. "It is planned to start soon and be completed in a short time," he said.
