First Day at ITB Berlin Concludes with Strong Attendance..

ITB Berlin, the tourism exchange fair regarded as the most important meeting point of world tourism, opened its doors to visitors for the 54th time.

Türkiye is taking part in the fair with a 550-square-meter stand area under the organization of TGA-Türkiye Tourism Promotion and Development Agency. Following the first day, TÜROB President Müberra Eresin offered an assessment at the TÜROB stand located within the Türkiye section, saying: "Compared to previous years, we are observing a large number of professional participants from Türkiye at the fair. For the first day, I can say that the number of foreign visitors in particular was not at the level we expected, and that, contrary to what we are used to, the fair has been quite quiet. We expect and hope for heavier visitor traffic on the second day of the fair. The news that the slowdown which began after the earthquake in Germany, one of our country's most important tourism markets, has partly started to ease, increases our hopes for the period ahead."
