Passing & Condolences

It is with deep sorrow that we have learned of the passing of Mehmet Doğan, Chairman of the Board of Arar Tours, a true doyen and loyal friend who made a great contribution to bringing the tourism sector to where it is today.

The funeral of the late Mehmet Doğan—known throughout our entire community as "Big Brother Mehmet," who stood out for his diligence, modesty, entrepreneurship, and visionary spirit, and who, with his courtesy and lifestyle, was also a true Istanbul gentleman—will be held following the afternoon (İkindi) prayer on Saturday, May 10, 2025 (Today), at the Ataköy Ömer Duruk Mosque.

We wish God's mercy upon the deceased; and we extend our condolences and wishes of patience to his grieving family and the Arar Tours family first and foremost, as well as to all his friends, relatives, loved ones, and our tourism community.

Respectfully,

Müberra Eresin
President of TÜROB
