Hacıoğlu expressed that the sunflower fields would add a unique beauty to the city, saying, "Tekirdağ's yellow bride creates very beautiful scenes. From April with canola, followed by lavender, and then in July, sunflower fields add color. The sunflowers have turned the city into a natural studio. People traveling on the historical Çanakkale road take breaks and capture memories in these beautiful fields. They take photos in this natural studio."

Visitors not only take photographs but also explore other aspects of tourism. They enjoy the city's gastronomy, its sea, and even try paragliding. People find various tourism opportunities here."
