TÜROB and THY turned Ramadan into an opportunity; more than a thousand foreign tourism professionals visited İstanbul

Through the cooperation of TÜROB and THY, tourism professionals from all over the world were hosted in İstanbul. Within one month, a record number of senior officials from foreign travel agencies and tour operators from 76 destinations visited İstanbul. The number of foreign tourism professionals who came to İstanbul during Ramadan exceeded one thousand.

The slowdown in hotels and air travel during Ramadan was overcome through the ‘İstanbul in Ramadan’ promotional project, implemented in cooperation between the Turkish Hoteliers Association (TÜROB) and THY. Through the cooperation of the two organizations, tourism professionals from all over the world were hosted in İstanbul. Within one month, a record number of senior officials from foreign travel agencies and tour operators from 76 destinations visited İstanbul. The number of foreign tourism professionals who came during Ramadan exceeded one thousand. Providing information about the project, TÜROB President Müberra Eresin pointed out that this project, which made use of hotel and flight availability during Ramadan, achieved large-scale activity and market diversity in İstanbul.

Eresin thanks member hotels

Saying, “In this period, which once again underscores the sectoral strength of acting together and of solidarity, we extend our endless gratitude to all our members who supported the project with great dedication,” Eresin continued: “Ramadan is a period in which a slowdown is observed in the tourism sector, especially in İstanbul. To turn this period into an advantage, we undertook a fine initiative together with our business partner THY. We tried to create as much market diversity as possible among the invited destinations. By making efficient use of this period in which our business declines, we believe we have made an important contribution to promoting our country and our city.”
