Turkey launches new short film to boost tourism

ANKARA – Anadolu Agency
The Culture and Tourism Ministry has made a new promotional short film featuring several iconic sites from Turkey that will be aired on social media, the ministry said in a statement on Aug. 5.

Short film called “Home of Poetry” has been prepared within the scope  of the country’s global tourism and cultural campaign “Turkey Home” launched by the ministry in 2014.

The promotional video consists of a main advertisement film lasting  over three minutes; three other shorter movies have been shot in ancient lands of Turkey across 12 cities.

Inspired by Turkey’s tradition of poetry, the advertisement project  features verses from famous Turkish poets such as Atilla İlhan, İlhan Berk, Yahya Kemal Beyatlı, Edip Cansever and Fazil Hüsnü Dağlarca to promote the country’s beauty and charm besides its historical heritage, the ministry said.
