The tragic death of the Böcek family caused serious damage to the tradesmen.

Recently, the tragedy of the Böcek family has deeply affected Turkey and caused an 80% decline in the revenue of Ortaköy tradesmen. While the investigation into the family's death is ongoing, representatives of the tradesmen made important statements regarding the incident.

The tradesmen emphasized the negative effects of the incident on the food sector and tourism, stating that the businesses operating in the area bore no responsibility in the matter. The owners of establishments in Ortaköy noted that the primary responsibility lies with the owner of the hotel where the family stayed, in the tragic situation where Çiğdem, Servet, Kadir Muhammet, and Masal Böcek lost their lives.

The stagnation following the incident has led to significant losses in both the tourism and food sectors in the region, and along with the losses experienced by the tradesmen, the region's reputation has also been tarnished. According to available information, the tradesmen representatives stated, “We have been put under suspicion. We must accept the negative impacts on the food sector.”

Following the death of the Böcek family, seasonal tourism activities and local tradesmen's incomes took a substantial hit. While tradesmen had been preparing for the tourism season throughout the year, this unfortunate incident resulted in an 80% decline in revenue. This drop signifies a serious blow, especially during the period when the tourism season has just begun.

Local business owners emphasized the urgent need for measures to prevent the situation from worsening, pointing out the importance of public information provided to the community. While the investigation into the incident is still ongoing, tradesmen unions also highlighted the importance of state support in response to the crisis.

In summary, the Ortaköy tradesmen express that they are not only facing material losses due to the tragic death of the Böcek family but also their reputation has been damaged. Urgent solutions are expected to remedy these negative effects on the food sector and tourism.
