We have learned with deep sorrow of the passing of Mr. İsmail Hatabay, Chairman of the Board of Grand Ons Hotel, one of our members of TÜROB – the Association of Turkish Hoteliers.

The cherished memory of the late İsmail Hatabay – who, in addition to his valuable contributions to our country’s economy in the fields of tourism and hospitality over many years, won a place in people’s hearts through his devoted work in various foundations and associations and his philanthropy in many areas, foremost the support of education – will be kept alive by the generations who come after him and will always be remembered with affection.

The funeral of the deceased will be held following the afternoon (Asr) prayer to be performed at Kayabaşı Mosque in our province of Kilis on Wednesday, 10 June 2026.
