Under the coordination of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Health and the Turkey Tourism Promotion and Development Agency, full-scale vaccination of tourism workers has begun. The vaccination program covers employees of airlines, airports, accommodation facilities and travel agencies, as well as professional guides.
Following the opening of the tourism season, vaccination of personnel working in the tourism sector has begun under the coordination of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health, with the aim of keeping our country's tourism services open without interruption throughout the year and ensuring the health and safety of tourism workers. Thanks to the vaccination program carried out under the 'Safe Tourism Certification Program,' the vaccination process for all tourism personnel will be completed before the start of the summer season.
Since the launch of the 'Safe Tourism Certification Program,' which was put into effect in June 2020, strict health and safety guidelines have been followed; all necessary steps are being taken to ensure that tourism continues safely. The vaccination program is being carried out meticulously in coordination with the Ministry of Health. Within this scope, the tourism workforce is being given priority during the vaccination process.
Turkey, which aims to be the world's safest tourism destination, continues its efforts to combat COVID-19 effectively and thereby make tourism reliable by strengthening and broadening the scope of the 'Safe Tourism Certification Program.' To date, more than 8,000 facilities have received this certificate. The certificate has also been made mandatory for accommodation facilities with 30 or more rooms. All necessary measures are being taken to ensure that Turkey continues to be a healthy and safe tourism destination in 2021.
