The operation should also have impact on new job creation, including relatively skilled jobs. Indirectly, key benefits of transport infrastructure are the broader economic growth it facilitates in the region where located. Given the importance of tourism in the Izmir region, these benefits could be substantial since quality airport infrastructure is critical to foster and sustain tourism over the long term.
Environmental Classification and Impact:: In addition to the obvious positive socio-economic impacts such as generation of employment opportunities, increased tourism in the area, and higher standards of travel, the operation will also help the Borrower to improve its corporate EHS management system and performance standards, which will prove beneficial for its future operations and will place TAV on a higher EHS performance level.
