TÜROB to Take Part in the MITT Tourism Fair to Be Held in Moscow...

TÜROB (the Association of Turkish Hoteliers) is heading to Russia without pausing its marketing efforts...

Immediately following the ITB Berlin Fair, which concluded last week, TÜROB is taking part in the MITT Tourism Fair to be held in Moscow on March 14-16, 2017...

Commenting on the matter, TÜROB President Timur Bayındır said: "The sector most affected by the tension experienced with Russia over the past year and a half has been tourism and, consequently, commercial life. We suffered losses of up to 80% in the market. The fact that Russia, the main market especially in the southern parts of our country, came almost to a standstill placed the region's tourism professionals in serious difficulty. With the steps taken recently to normalize relations and the positive results achieved, we expect that this year the number of tourists coming from Russia will see an increase of up to twofold compared to last year. Throughout this process, we have once again understood, and unfortunately experienced, the importance of diversity among source markets. We hope that from now on we can pursue a much more robust and multi-faceted tourism policy, founded on the importance of tourism's place in the national economy. During the fair, we aim to regain our business volume by establishing bilateral contacts with the country's tour operators and decision-makers."

TÜROB will participate within the Türkiye stand located in Pavilion 8, Hall No. 1.

TÜROB's delegation attending the fair includes İstanbul Deputy Governor İsmail Gültekin, TÜROB President Timur Bayındır, TÜROB Board Member Taner Yallagöz, and TÜROB General Manager İsmail Taşdemir.
