Müberra Eresin, President of the Association of Turkish Hoteliers (TÜROB), announced that, in honor of TÜROB's 50th anniversary and taking into account the adverse conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, no annual membership dues will be collected from members for 2021.

The Association of Turkish Hoteliers (TÜROB), one of the largest and most active civil society organizations in the tourism and accommodation sector, which is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year, is providing significant support to its members. TÜROB President Müberra Eresin stated that, by a decision taken unanimously by the TÜROB Board of Directors, in honor of the association's 50th anniversary and taking into account the adverse conditions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, no annual membership dues will be collected for 2021 from members who have no outstanding dues from previous periods.

In her remarks on the matter, Eresin said: "As TÜROB, with the strength we draw from our valued members consisting of quality establishments, we have for a full 50 years experienced the pride of being the dynamic, inclusive, and most well-established professional organization representing our country's accommodation sector since 1971. In this regard, on our 50th anniversary, together with the challenging conditions of the pandemic, we would like to once again underline solidarity and the joining of forces," she said.

Our support will continue

Stating, "We attached great importance to being a welcoming gateway for sector organizations and our members," Eresin said the following: "With the pandemic, the importance of NGOs has once again become evident. During this process, we have actively led the implementation of numerous measures in cooperation with the relevant Ministries and Institutions, both to enable employers to continue the operations of their establishments and to meet their financial needs, and to ensure that employees are not adversely affected economically and socially by developments. Even during such a period, when tourism has experienced difficult days both globally and locally due to the pandemic, we have not interrupted our communication with our members or the flow of information we provide. We strive to support employees working in our hotels - and even those working in hotels that are not members of ours - through training in many areas such as hygiene, human resources, and finance. Our support for our members and our sector will continue in the new year as well. We are planning many events throughout the year in commemoration of our 50th anniversary, and we will share these with the public."
