The Transition Date for the "Central Tourism Database" Has Been Set as 15 June 2026.

Dear Member,

We had previously shared detailed information regarding the "Central Tourism Database" application with you, our valued members. Due to infrastructure work initiated by the Ministry in order to implement the anonymization of the data source that we had requested from the Ministry, as well as certain technical adjustments concerning PMS integration and manual data entry processes, the date for establishments to transition to the system has been postponed from 15 May 2026 to 16 June 2026.

We would like to remind you once again that, within the scope of the work being carried out with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the companies providing PMS services, NO FEE WILL BE REQUESTED from hotels by the relevant companies during the integration process of hotel PMS systems. Should there nonetheless be companies that request a fee, we kindly and importantly ask that you inform us.

The data to be transmitted to the system will be anonymized during transfer, and since the source of the data cannot be identified, there is no need for concerns that establishments' commercial information will be shared.

This system is extremely important and necessary for enabling data-driven promotional methods to be applied in real time in our country's promotional efforts, and it is also supported by our Association.

All details regarding the matter will be conveyed to you, our valued Members, by TÜROB via Circular shortly, and we kindly ask that you follow the detailed announcements we will send during this process.

Respectfully,
TÜROB-Turkish Hoteliers Association
