Small History about entertainment

During the 1850s and 1860s there was a dramatic improvement in the quality of the voyage for passengers. Ships began to cater solely to passengers, rather than to cargo or mail contracts, and added luxuries like electric lights, more deck space, and entertainment.

The 1960s witnessed the beginnings of the modern cruise industry. Cruise ship companies concentrated on vacation trips in the Caribbean, and created a “fun ship” image which attracted many passengers who would have never had the opportunity to travel on the super liners of the 1930s and 1940s. Cruise ships concentrated on creating a casual environment and providing extensive on-board entertainment. There was a decrease in the role of ships for transporting people to a particular destination; rather, the emphasis was on the voyage itself. The new cruise line image was solidified with the popularity of the TV series “The Love Boat” which ran from 1977 until 1986.

In 1950 Entertainment was presented in club Med as G.O.

Village was “Alcudia”, a tent village in the Balearic Islands. The Club Med village concept was born, and with it, creation of another unique concept: the G.O. (staff member) and the G.M (guest).
In 1976 entertainment was presented for the first time in Antalya Turkey.
Since mid 80’s, tourism has become one of the most important and fastest growing sectors of Turkey. It has made a significant contribution to foreign exchange revenue, to a positive impact on job creation. At this time Turkish entertainment teams were representing public relation and daily activities, national folklore, shows and events.

1988 was created the first Entertainment Company ‘Say-Tur’ from Yavuz Yalcinkaya. Company Say-Tur was inviting professional artists, dancers, musicians, sport teachers, and club entertainers from foreign countries for employment in Turtel Side and Turtel Sorgun in Antalya region of turkey.
