Cable cars that combine urban and tourist benefit are especially popular,\u201d POMA Marketing Manager Carole Mancini says. In-house, the French cable car manufacturer distinguishes between three categories of tourist cable cars, although these can also be combined. First: cable cars in amusement parks. One example here would be the Beauval zoopark. It offers a unique experience in France<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>for the 1.5 million annual visitors who enjoy fantastic views over many areas of the park, aboard gondolas with glass flooring. Second: Providingaccess to a tourist destination. The cable car in Yen Tu (Vietnam), for example, is notable here. It runs up a temple mountain and is used by over two million passengers per year. Third: The cable car as an attraction in itself. This is the case for example in Tlemcen (Algeria). Here the cable car actually serves as a classic urban mode of transport for everyday use, but thanks to the tourists it transports 3,500 people per day at weekends \u2013 significantly more than on work days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll over the world, (urban) tourist cable cars are used by around 300,000 passengers per year,\u201d Mancini highlights the potential: \u201ca ticket costs 30 euros on average and the yields are accordingly high.\u201d We must also emphasise the tourist benefit of urban public transport, such as on the cable car in Namur, which opened in 2021. This now allows many residents to travel from the suburbs to the city centre in only four minutes; timetables have therefore been extended, in order to benefit daily commuters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>Example: Teleferik Alanya (Turkey)<\/h3>\n<p>By way of example for the world\u2019s many city tourism facilities, SI Urban takes a closer look at two cable cars in Turkey. One is the Teleferik Alanya from Italian cable car manufacturer LEITNER, which is located in the Turkish region of Antalya.<\/p>\n<p>The Mediterranean climate, scenic attractions and historical heritage make Alanya a popular tourist destination, accounting for nine percent of the Turkish tourist industry. \u201cThe Alanya cable car has been operated by the eponymous holding company since 2017. The aim is to stimulate and improve the quality of tourism.<\/p>\n<p>The cable car considerably strengthens the transport network in the area of the historic Alanya Castle, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site,\u201d LEITNER Marketing Manager Gotthard Scho\u0308pf says.<\/p>\n<p>The cable car offers a fast transport service (one gondola every 19 seconds) and is equipped with 14 8-person gondolas. The track, which is around 900 metres long, has a transport capacity of 1,130 people per hour.<\/p>\n<p>This all makes the cable car in Alanya a popular mode of transport \u2013 especially for tourists. Consequently, within only one year, the number of passengers increased from 851,800 (2018) to 1,035,800 (2019). Most passengers come from Russia, Germany, Ukraine or Denmark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";
