               Didim Seyahat,which was first founded in 1964,was transporting between Didim and Söke.When Didim Seyahat started,it was formed as a union.Founders of the union are Mehmet İŞLER,Osman ÇAĞLAR,Refik KARATAŞ,İsmail ERGELDİ,Baki DEMİR,Hasan Bilal Kafadar,Faruk Özden,CENGİZ and Vecdi ŞENCAN.

               When the union was first founded,it consisted of 35 members.Since it was founded Didim Seyahat,whose main aim has been a planned and regular growth,now has 39 members.The reason why the number of the members has been limited is that transport service of Didim can be provided by local transport services.Since it was founded in 1964, vehicles have been used in accord to social,economical and geographical structure of the region.It has been showed that solidarity is necessary and beneficial in order to overcome the difficulties and problems because of being a cooperation with multi-partnership,it has enabled the union to work more efficiently in rivalry conditions.Its multi-partnership structure has caused to reach the union more active and more distinguished point in transportation sector of the region.

                It caused to recede in the structure and activities of the union in these years because the population of Didim was little and the tourists coming here were in poor qualityand low in numbers between 1960 and 1980.The structure of the union was reformed according to the new laws in 1981,and was named as SS 18 no Didim Union of Motor Vehicles Cooperation.Vivid years for Didim begin after Didim has been a county and increased the tourism investment parallel to the increasing number of tourists coming to Didim.Upon these developments, Didim,which becomes a centre of charm and business,got migrants from other regions between 1990 and 2006 and increased its population.It will be vital to examine the quality and the number of the transport services again and make them convenient for today’s conditions because it has been explained that the number of tourists coming toDidim has been hundreds at tourism season.For this reason,they changed its name as Didim Seyahat with the resolution of the board of directors of the cooperation in 2004 and increased the investment. First of all,they bought 5 buses in addition to 39 minibuses.The minibuses belong to each member,but the buses belong to Didim Seyahat members in common.The bus tours started between İzmir and Didim after getting a special permit from the Ministry of Transport and the certificate of qualification from TSE.

           Regional effects of changing global system,changes in the idea of quality and service have been effective the firm to appear as a more society.Didim Seyahat,which is becoming a firm-but originally a cooperation-,is important to be the first in the region.The passengers have been provided to travel more safely and more comfortably by thinking of the work discipline at top level.Didim Seyahat,which is concerned about national unity and universality of the law,respectful staff to the principles of Repuclic and with democratic management policy,has served you –our dear people-since 1964.You could inform us your offers and complaints so as to give you a better service.
