Sera Lake, located in Trabzon’s Akçaabat district in Northen Türkiye, has been popular among Arab tourists due to pedalo tours. However, a recent decision banned pedalo, causing discontent among business owners who were not given reasons for the ban. The lake, formed after a 1950 landslide, was declared a nature park in 2010. The ban has led to a decline in activity, with businesses suffering and Arab tourists expressing disappointment. Business owners urge authorities to reconsider the decision and find a solution to preserve tourism and local employment.
