The first day of the TTG Rimini Tourism Fair has come to a close.

The 62nd TTG Rimini Tourism and Promotion Fair, regarded as one of the most important gatherings of the tourism sector in Italy, has opened its doors to visitors.

The fair began with strong attendance. The Türkiye stand, prepared in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Turkish Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA), was praised by fair participants for its visual, functional and design qualities. The institutions present at the Türkiye stand include the Association of Turkish Hoteliers (TÜROB).

TÜROB President Müberra Eresin attended the fair together with TÜROB Board Members Mustafa Topaloğlu and Nuri Kalyoncu, holding talks with sector representatives. As part of the fair, meetings were held with many tour operators active in Italy.

In her assessment of the first day of the fair, TÜROB President Eresin made the following remarks: "Our positive expectations regarding this market for 2026 continue. However, as we voiced last year, for 2026 we continue to receive serious complaints due to the high number of transit passengers on flights serving our country. This situation creates an obstacle for tourists who wish to travel directly. If we can find a lasting solution to this problem, the number of tourists we draw from the Italian market could even surprise us. In addition, in order to maintain market activity during the winter season, the sustainability of 'city break' short weekend tours is of great importance. This can be made possible by low-cost airlines launching direct flights to Istanbul."

Held in the touristic Italian city of Rimini under the theme "Awakening to a New Era," the fair features 26 halls, more than 2,700 brands and 75 countries, along with the participation of over 1,000 hosted buyers invited to hold B2B meetings with fair participants

It will run through Friday, 10 October 2025.
