Antalya expects up to 100,000 daily visitors as city prepares for COP31

The Antalya Governorate introduced new measures for the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), which will take place in the city from November 9 to 20. Under a circular issued by the governorate, all public and private schools in the districts of Aksu, Döşemealtı, Konyaaltı, Kepez, Manavgat, Muratpaşa and Serik will switch to remote learning on November 11 and 12.

School buses and student transportation services will not operate in those districts on those two days. School principals will remain on site to monitor the learning process, answer parents’ questions and ensure the safety of the buildings. Classes will continue as usual in Antalya’s other districts.

Women civil servants in these districts who have preschool- or primary-school-aged children will be granted administrative leave on November 11 and 12. The exception will be institution heads and staff performing critical functions.
